Problem

Some people push to GitHub and to a mirror in one step by giving a remote a second URL (git remote set-url --add origin git@gitlab.com:me/app.git). Git fetches from the first URL. But git config --get remote.origin.url returns the last one, and that's what GitManager read.

When the mirror is second, local status says the repository is on the mirror's host, so a GitHub repo gets GitLab's icon and "merge request" wording. If the mirror's owner is different, the branch's head owner comes from the mirror too. matchesBranchHeadContext then rejects the real GitHub PR, and the PR doesn't show for the branch. Provider selection (git remote -v) still uses the first URL, so the two disagree.

Local PR checkout has the same problem in the provider packages. preparePullRequestThread runs the GitHub or Bitbucket checkout first, and both read the last remote.origin.url to choose SSH or HTTPS for a new fork remote. GitManager's ensureRemote then reuses that remote, because it matches by repository and not by protocol. So with an SSH mirror as the second URL, checking out a fork PR adds an SSH fork remote even though origin fetches over HTTPS. Without an SSH key the fetch fails and the branch has no upstream.

Change

GitManager now reads a remote's URL with git config --get-all remote.<name>.url and takes the first value. That's the URL Git fetches from. Every remote.<name>.url read in GitManager uses it: the status hosting provider, the remote repository context, the published-branch remote check, the PR lookup identity (under a new cache key), and the PR checkout SSH preference and fallback repository match.

The GitHub and Bitbucket PR checkouts read origin's first URL the same way (git config --get-all remote.origin.url through the host's git.execute), so a new fork remote gets the protocol of the URL origin fetches from.

Everything reads the raw configured URL, not git remote get-url or git remote -v. Both of those apply url.insteadOf rewrites, and the existing tests (configureVisibleRemoteUrlWithLocalRewrite) and proxy setups depend on the URL before rewriting. An earlier revision of the provider change used the git remote -v fetch line. With an HTTPS origin and an SSH insteadOf rewrite limited to the base owner, it picked SSH for another owner's fork, so the provider checkouts now read config too.

Scope and approval

Very small, focused fix for an obvious bug, so no prior issue: GitManager picked the remote URL Git doesn't fetch from, and on this setup it hides the branch's PR. GitManager plus the two provider checkouts that feed it, each with a test. Overlap search: the local PR index and gh search for remote URL / multiple URL / set-url --add / get-all found no PR touching these reads. #20027 (closed) was about renamed repository slugs, which is a different cause. The other provider reads (Bitbucket's same-repository fallback and GitCafe) sit behind the bound remote URL, which already comes from git remote -v, so they're unchanged.

Verification

  • New test status reads a remote's first URL when it has a second push URL in apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts. On main: AssertionError: expected 'gitlab' to be 'github'. With the PR assertion checked first: expected undefined to be 16. It passes on this branch.
  • vp test run src/git/GitManager.test.ts: 116 passed.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck (3 packages) and tests (117) all pass.
  • New tests adds a fork remote with the protocol of the URL origin fetches from in GitHubSourceControlProvider.test.ts and BitbucketApi.test.ts. Origin's config holds an HTTPS URL then an SSH push URL, and git remote -v shows an SSH insteadOf rewrite. Before the fix, the new fork remote was git@github.com:someone/web.git / git@bitbucket.org:octocat/t3code.git where the HTTPS URL was expected. Both pass now.
  • vp test run src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.test.ts: 39 passed. Bitbucket vp test run src/server/: 93 passed.
  • vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (12 packages) and tests (184) all pass.
  • Git 2.50.1, remote with two URLs: git config --get printed the second URL, while git remote get-url, git ls-remote --get-url and the fetch line of git remote -v printed the first. With an insteadOf rewrite added, git remote -v printed the rewritten URL and git config --get-all printed the raw first URL.
  • Not checked: a real fork checkout against GitHub or Bitbucket, and the real web and mobile clients.

Reviewed with sol-loop: 3 rounds with GPT-6.1 Sol on high (the second on the provider checkout change, the third on the insteadOf fix). Sol verdict: approved.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d89b4e5

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Remote URL handling now uses Git’s first configured URL, keeping branch PR matching and clone-protocol selection consistent with fetch behavior. Existing repository-identity safeguards remain intact, with no material risk requiring human review identified.

Walkthrough

GitManager and the Bitbucket and GitHub providers now read the first configured remote URL at updated remote lookup and fork checkout call sites. Tests cover multiple remote URLs, provider selection, and fork remote URL selection.

Changes: Remote URL reading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Use the first remote URL in GitManager
apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts, apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts
GitManager adds helpers that return the first configured remote URL and updates remote lookup call sites to use them. The status test checks provider selection and PR lookup when origin has GitHub and GitLab URLs.
Select the first origin URL for fork checkout
packages/source-control-bitbucket/src/server/BitbucketApi.ts, packages/source-control-bitbucket/src/server/BitbucketApi.test.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts, packages/source-control-github/src/server/GitHubSourceControlProvider.test.ts
Bitbucket and GitHub fork checkout use the first origin URL when selecting the fork remote. Tests verify URL selection when multiple HTTPS and SSH URLs are configured.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 06fc5

Branch PRs now stay matched when a remote has a second push URL, and fork checkouts use the protocol of the fetch URL. No merge-blocking risk remains; the one open comment is a minor tracing-convention nit.

Explanation

The title names the main change: GitManager now reads a remote's first configured URL, so branch PRs stay matched when a remote has a second push URL. It follows the conventional commit format and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history. It is 72 characters, within a typical limit.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each has specific content. The Problem section gives the bug and reproduction context. The Change section explains the fix across GitManager and the GitHub and Bitbucket checkouts. The Scope section explains why no issue is linked and names the overlap search. The Verification section lists focused tests, observed results, and unverified areas. It does not link a tracked issue, but the template allows a stated reason for small obvious fixes. The template's optional agent-model line is present.

Nitpick Make the Git fixture check the config arguments.

Make the Git fixture check the config arguments.

This fixture returns both URLs even if the implementation uses --get, which returns only the last URL. The test would pass with that regression. Check the arguments or return Git's corresponding output for each command. The GitHub fixture has the same gap at GitHubSourceControlProvider.test.ts Line 183.

As per coding guidelines: “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.”

272 - 275:
Update the Git mock in the Bitbucket test’s `execute` fixture to inspect the
requested Git config arguments and return output matching each command, so a
`--get` regression cannot pass by receiving both URLs. Apply the same focused
fixture correction to the GitHub test’s corresponding `execute` mock.

merged current main into the existing head without conflicts. the six-file change stays unchanged in scope. blacksmith vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, graphql validation, typecheck across 12 packages, and 184 tests. two independent reviews found no issues at 4371c732286e24a8324d74f6ff567641a7ae2467. both earlier bot threads are resolved. live client/provider checkout remains unverified.

verified head 4371c732286e24a8324d74f6ff567641a7ae2467 on linux with the real dev server, repository playwright, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project and thread through the web app. two real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns completed and ran git commands. no mocks or fixtures.

  • reproduced on github/main (61c3794c32): github first, gitlab mirror second reports gitlab and no branch pr. repeated with identical upstream and remote configuration.
  • on the pr: the same repository reports github and pr 29625, visible in the client.
  • local fork checkout through authenticated git.preparePullRequestThread: main created an ssh fork remote, failed ssh fetch, and fell back. the pr created https://github.com/saphid/t3code, fetched successfully, and set upstream to saphid/fix/remote-first-url.
  • neighboring single-url and explicit pushurl configurations still find pr 29625.

short server transcript

Not verified

bitbucket checkout needs bitbucket credentials and a real fork pr. native ios/android and electron clients were not exercised on this linux vm. checkout was exercised through the running server websocket api, not the checkout dialog. worktree checkout, ssh-first remotes, enterprise hosts, and cross-host insteadOf rewrites were not exercised. the recording shows real client interaction with completed provider output, not a checkout animation.

Use the required Effect function convention for remote reads.

readRemoteUrl is a reusable I/O operation used by status, checkout, and repository-identity verification. Define it with Effect.fn("GitManager.readRemoteUrl") so these callers share a named tracing boundary. Apply the convention to readRemoteUrlNullable as well, or deliberately use Effect.fnUntraced with the required explanation.

As per coding guidelines, “Reusable functions use Effect.fn("Service.operation").” As per path instructions, “Reusable service operations use named Effect.fn spans by default.”

Evidence

Real web app, Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic state and replay agent on each commit. Opened a single-URL control, then an otherwise equivalent repository whose origin lists GitHub HTTPS first and GitLab SSH second. Checked that #8469 remained matched. The control passed on both commits; the two-URL case failed on base and passed on head. The live PR currently has conflicts, so its card offers Resolve.
