What's Wrong?

For example - On the claude desktop app for macos if I want to use the import github issue feature this requires the git repo to have a remote setup called origin.

What Should Happen?

This should be configurable per repository/project at the very least. I have seen other issues similarly to this across the project so it would be nice if any instance where you are interacting with systems like git/github that you do not assume the default remote is set to origin and instead allow for a configurable value (like upstream).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a github repo
  2. Clone repo and have the remote called something other than origin (like upstream).
  3. Open Claude dekstop app
  4. Notice that the import github issue functionality does not work
  5. Add/Rename remote to origin
  6. Import github issue functionality is now enabled.
