Feel free to reject these feature requests, this is just another one where github cli works one way but fj cli works another way.

When I run gh pr create, github CLI asks which remote to push it to, and opens the PR against the origin remote.

When I do git checkout -b test2 and fj pr create, I get this error instead:

text
$ fj pr create testpr
Error: config value 'branch.test2.remote' was not found; class=Config (7); code=NotFound (-3)

Location:
    src/prs.rs:962:31

which is fixed with git push --set-upstream origin test2

I do agree there's improvement to be made in working with forks. I'd prefer not to hard-code the expectation of there being a remote named origin (I tend to name my remotes by what instance they are), but I have thought about adding a way to set a default remote. That could be set during fj repo clone, but it could be clunky in the case of git clone.

When I do git checkout -b test2 and fj pr create, I get this error instead:

I should change this error to tell you to git push --set-upstream .... I might add a --push option to pr create, too, although that might complicate the default remote option.

I don't know if origin is hard coded in GitHub cli, I just assume that's how it works. it's quite interactive which I don't like that much either.
