SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When automating GitHub workflows such as issue creation, you need to know which repository the current project points to. Manually inspecting Git configuration is error-prone, and assuming a GitHub remote when none exists breaks downstream integrations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Remote URL Detection: Runs `git config --get remote.origin.url` to retrieve the configured remote for the current repository. - URL Parsing: Extracts the repository owner and name from both HTTPS (`https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git`) and SSH (`[email protected]:<owner>/<repo>.git`) formats. - GitHub Verification: Confirms whether the remote actually points to github.com instead of assuming it does. - Graceful Degradation: Returns an empty result with a warning when Git is unavailable, the directory is not a repository, or no remote is configured, so other workflows continue uninterrupted. - Use Case: A spec-kit automation needs to create a GitHub issue for a new feature specification; it first uses this Skill to resolve the correct owner and repository from the local Git configuration. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to detect the Git remote URL of the current repository and report the GitHub owner and repository name.

FAQPage Schema

How do I get the Git remote URL of a repository from the command line?▼

Run `git config --get remote.origin.url` inside the repository to print the configured remote URL. You can first verify you are inside a Git work tree with `git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree`.

How to extract the GitHub owner and repo name from a remote URL?▼

Parse the URL according to its format: for HTTPS use `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git`, and for SSH use `[email protected]:<owner>/<repo>.git`. Extract the owner and repo segments from the path portion of the URL.

Does this work with non-GitHub remotes like GitLab or Bitbucket?▼

No. The Skill only reports a GitHub repository when the remote URL actually points to github.com. Remotes hosted on other platforms are not treated as GitHub repositories.

What happens if Git is not installed or no remote is configured?▼

The Skill outputs a warning such as "Git repository not detected" and returns an empty result. It does not raise an error, so other workflows can continue without Git remote information.

Which Git remote URL formats are supported?▼

Two formats are supported: HTTPS URLs like `https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.git` and SSH URLs like `[email protected]:<owner>/<repo>.git`. Both are parsed to extract the owner and repository name.
