Speckit Git Remote

Git Remote Skill

Detect Git Remote URL

Detect the Git remote URL for integration with GitHub services (e.g., issue creation).

Prerequisites

• Check if Git is available by running git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree 2>/dev/null
• If Git is not available, output a warning and return empty:

`` [specify] Warning: Git repository not detected; cannot determine remote URL ``

Execution

Run the following command to get the remote URL:

git config --get remote.origin.url

Output

Parse the remote URL and determine:

1. Repository owner: Extract from the URL (e.g., github from https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git)
2. Repository name: Extract from the URL (e.g., spec-kit from https://github.com/github/spec-kit.git)
3. Is GitHub: Whether the remote points to a GitHub repository

Supported URL formats:

• HTTPS: https://github.com//.git
• SSH: git@github.com:/.git

> [!CAUTION] > ONLY report a GitHub repository if the remote URL actually points to github.com. > Do NOT assume the remote is GitHub if the URL format doesn't match.

Graceful Degradation

If Git is not installed, the directory is not a Git repository, or no remote is configured:

• Return an empty result
• Do NOT error — other workflows should continue without Git remote information
