Unable to construct pull request URL

Error message

Unable to construct pull request URL

What it means

Guard in create_pull_request: the remote URL matched a known hosting provider, but the provider's build_pull_request_url produced None (e.g. missing owner/repo parts or unsupported URL shape), so a pull request link cannot be constructed.

Solutions

1. Confirm the remote URL parses to a known hosting provider; unsupported URL shapes (local paths, aliases) cannot yield a PR URL
2. Check that the branch has an upstream: `git branch -vv`, and set one with `git push -u origin <branch>`
3. Open the pull request manually on the hosting provider's website
4. Report the remote URL format if it looks valid but still fails to construct a PR URL
