Detect the Git remote URL for integration with GitHub services (e.g., issue creation).
Prerequisites
- Check if Git is available by running
git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null - If Git is not available, output a warning and return empty:
[specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; cannot determine remote URL
Execution
Run the following command to get the remote URL:
git config --get remote.origin.url
Output
Parse the remote URL and determine:
- Repository owner: Extract from the URL (e.g.,
githubfromhttps://github.com/github/spec-kit.git) - Repository name: Extract from the URL (e.g.,
spec-kitfromhttps://github.com/github/spec-kit.git) - Is GitHub: Whether the remote points to a GitHub repository
Supported URL formats:
- HTTPS:
https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git - SSH:
git@github.com:<owner>/<repo>.git
[!CAUTION] ONLY report a GitHub repository if the remote URL actually points to github.com. Do NOT assume the remote is GitHub if the URL format doesn't match.
Graceful Degradation
If Git is not installed, the directory is not a Git repository, or no remote is configured:
- Return an empty result
- Do NOT error — other workflows should continue without Git remote information
