Use when a service needs the canonical GitHub repo for a Copilot session cwd.
var result = GitService.ResolveGitHubRepo(cwd);
var repo = GitService.TryResolveGitHubRepo(cwd);
git -C <cwd>, never literal .git checks.upstream first, then origin.GitHubRepoResolution.NotAGitRepo when git -C cwd rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree fails.GitHubRepoResolution.NoRemote when neither remote exists.GitHubRepoResolution.NonGitHubRemote when the selected remote exists but host is not github.com.| Form | Result |
|---|---|
https://github.com/owner/repo(.git)? | owner/repo |
git@github.com:owner/repo(.git)? | owner/repo |
ssh://git@github.com/owner/repo(.git)? | owner/repo |
Host comparison is case-insensitive. Owner and repo casing are preserved.
After parsing a GitHub remote, run:
gh repo view owner/repo --json parent --jq .parent.nameWithOwner
Use a 5 second timeout. Fall back to the parsed remote if gh is unavailable, fails, times out, or returns no parent. Tests can set GH_PATH to a fake executable.
