What's Wrong?

For example - On the claude desktop app for macos if I want to use the import github issue feature this requires the git repo to have a remote setup called origin.

What Should Happen?

This should be configurable per repository/project at the very least. I have seen other issues similarly to this across the project so it would be nice if any instance where you are interacting with systems like git/github that you do not assume the default remote is set to origin and instead allow for a configurable value (like upstream).

3. Open Claude dekstop app

6. Import github issue functionality is now enabled.
