Using this command resolves remote based on remote-tracking branch of the currently selected branch and should be more precise in case we can't predict if the user uses origin to mark upstream or their fork.
This reverses #1548 . The issue there isn't unfortunately very clear about what exact case did not show correct output before. It is possible it was just a misunderstanding about how
ls-remote --get-url
works.https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.43.0/remote.c#L550-L554
The "origin" fallback probably does not do anything anymore. 95% sure it is safe to remove.Looking at the git source, another difference is that if there is only one remote, thenls-remote --get-url
returns that(even if not remote-tracking) while the current implementation would not set URL in this case. If this is not the behavior we want, it could be detected with some additional commands or we could get the remote-tracking branch directly withoutls-remote
.
