Script asks for username if one has a fork of any repo (even if not added as a remote) about spec-factory HOT 5 CLOSED

I have a local checkout of each repository and have not seen this. I did have to login when I first ran it iirc.

Ah, so it must have gone wrong at the fullscreen repo, not at fetch. There, git remote -v says:

fork	https://github.com/foolip/fullscreen.git (fetch)
fork	https://github.com/foolip/fullscreen.git (push)
origin	[email protected]:whatwg/fullscreen.git (fetch)
origin	[email protected]:whatwg/fullscreen.git (push)

So it's gh pr create that does something special when you have a fork of the repo. I didn't add the fork remote, it's gh pr create that does that, and then annoyingly asks for a username...

I've filed cli/cli#1286 about this.

Hi, maintainer of GitHub CLI here. I'm sorry for the confusing experience that the tool resulted in in this case.

For scripts, I would recommend that the branch is explicitly pushed to a remote before invoking gh pr create. In that case, GitHub CLI will not try to guess where the branch should be pushed prior to opening a new PR.

Thanks @mislav! I've sent a fix using your recommendation.
