{} has origin {origin:?}, expected {url:?}

Error message

{} has origin {origin:?}, expected {url:?}

What it means

During bootstrap validation, the existing checkout's `origin` remote URL does not match the URL mise expects for this bootstrap source, so mise refuses to use it. The error shows both the found and expected URLs.

Solutions

1. Set the origin to the expected URL: `git -C <path> remote set-url origin <expected-url>`.
2. Or delete the checkout and let mise re-clone from the expected URL.
3. Match the URL form exactly (protocol, `.git` suffix) as printed in the error message.

Example fix

// before
# origin: git@github.com:jdx/mise.git (expected https://github.com/jdx/mise.git)
git -C ~/.local/share/mise/bootstrap/mise remote set-url origin https://github.com/jdx/mise.git
// after
# origin now matches; re-run the mise command

origin=$(git -C <path> config --get remote.origin.url 2>/dev/null); [ "$origin" = "<expected-url>" ] || echo "origin mismatch: $origin"

When it happens

Trigger: `validate_bootstrap_checkout` compares `git config --get remote.origin.url` output against the expected bootstrap URL and they differ (exact string comparison, so even trailing `.git` vs no `.git` or https-vs-ssh mismatches trigger it).

Common situations: Cloning via SSH (`git@github.com:org/repo.git`) when mise expects HTTPS (or vice versa), forks pointed at a different remote, or the upstream repository being renamed/moved.
