No remote configured for repository

Error message

No remote configured for repository

What it means

In GitPanel::create_pull_request: the active branch has neither an upstream-derived remote nor a configured remote_origin_url/remote_upstream_url, so there is no remote URL to build a pull request link from.

Solutions

1. Inform the user that a remote (e.g. origin) must be configured
2. Prompt to push the branch with an upstream to establish the remote
3. Hide PR creation for remote-less repositories
