Failed to get remote url | stdout

Error message

Failed to get remote url | stdout: {} | stderr: {}

What it means

get_remote_url runs `git config --get remote.origin.url` (or equivalent) and, when the subprocess exits non-zero, returns both its stdout and stderr in this error. The output parsing (trimming .git suffix) only happens on success, so this error always reflects a failure of the underlying git query.

Solutions

1. Check the stdout/stderr in the message for git's diagnostic
2. Add the remote: `git remote add origin <url>` in the repository
3. Verify existing remotes with `git remote -v` and rename to origin if needed (`git remote rename <name> origin`)
4. Confirm the working directory passed to the library is actually the git repository root

Example fix

// before
$ git remote -v   # (empty)
// after
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:owner/repo.git

fn has_origin_remote(dir: &Path) -> bool {
  std::process::Command::new("git").current_dir(dir)
    .args(["config", "--get", "remote.origin.url"]).output()
    .map(|o| o.status.success()).unwrap_or(false)
}

match get_remote_url(dir).await {
  Err(e) if e.to_string().starts_with("Failed to get remote url") => {
    log::warn!("no origin remote configured"); None
  }
  other => other.ok(),
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling get_remote_url on a repository that has no 'origin' remote configured, is not a git repository at all, or where the git subprocess fails.

Common situations: Locally initialized repos where `git remote add origin` was never run; repos cloned under a remote name other than 'origin'; CI checkouts that stripped remotes; deploying code whose .git directory was removed.

Understand the failure class

Background: "git command failed": what it means when a tool shells out to git and git exits non-zero — this error's family across 21 libraries.
