Hey @jverce, how can I merge the PR? |

I wonder if the better option here would be to default to origin and allow a config escape hatch instead of assuming the first remote is the right one (I also think this isn't guaranteed to work on all systems, since not all systems have access to head)

@jacob-meacham thinking out loud, no need to change the default behavior, so we won't break any legacy system using this plugin, and use a config escape to override the behavior and use git config --get remote.origin.url . WDYT?

I'm compelled by your case - I think that this is strictly more correct (though I'd release it as a breaking change), so I think we should just go for it and either add configuration to set the remote you want to pull or just use origin which I expect is right the vast majority of cases

Any updates on this one? This is especially needed when running on CI/CD pipelines like CircleCI where they clone the repo onto a generically named folder called |

Hey @jverce, not yet. |

Apologies, this fell off my radar! @efimk-lu would you mind adding a legacy escape for people relying on the old behavior, along with config to explicitly set the remote (defaulting to the first in the list is fine, but nice to let users specify a remote). Once that's done I'll merge and release |

@jacob-meacham Using the folder name is annoying. Would this be the config logic you want? I might take the time to implement it. Can someone hint me at docs on how to define config parameters? (parameter names below are just for illustration purposes. feel free to suggest good names) If |

Extracting the repo name from the folder into which the git repo was cloned is dangerous. Mainly because the folder name can change. This is a more robust way of pulling it.
