Repository Setup for Forks

When working with a forked repository, GitHub CLI (gh) commands may fail to find issues and PRs because they default to the fork's repository instead of the upstream repository.

Setup

Add the upstream repository as a remote (you can name it anything, upstream is conventional):

git remote add upstream https://github.com/spiriMirror/libuipc

How Commands Work

All Cursor commands use --repo spiriMirror/libuipc to reference the upstream repository, ensuring they work correctly in:

• The upstream repository
• A forked repository
• A repository with custom remote names

This ensures issues and PRs are always referenced from the upstream repository where they actually exist.
