Helping users set the correct remote name
Problem to solve
Currently, when user has got multiple remotes in the same repository (e.g. origin
and upstream
) the GitLab Workflow extension silently selects the (alphabetically) first one (origin
in this example).
Users can select remote to be used by setting the gitlab.remoteName
(https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-vscode-extension#extension-settings). But that is not obvious to the user.
Proposal
When we detect multiple remotes in the repository, we'll ask user which one they want to use and store it into the workspace settings (gitlab.remoteName
)
