In a GitHub fork checkout (origin is your fork, upstream is its parent), T3 Code treated origin as the pull request target. Lookups compared the head against the fork, and PR creation passed a bare --head without the fork owner, so gh could not open the pull request on the parent.

The PR lookup side now builds on #13200: it keeps that change's bare-branch listing with owner filtering and adds the missing repository target.

  • SourceControlProviderRegistry binds a GitHub upstream remote when it is the same repository as origin under another owner (same host and name). An upstream that isn't the fork's parent still leaves origin in charge.
  • The GitHub provider passes --repo host/owner/name for that context on pr list, pr view, pr create, pr checkout, and repo view, so gh's own remote ranking or gh repo set-default can't pick a different repository.
  • GitManager resolves the target remote from the provider context instead of hardcoding origin. A branch pushed to the fork is then cross-repository, so creation uses --head owner:branch, and the PR diff base comes from upstream/<base> instead of a possibly stale fork base. A feature branch that still tracks the fork's own default branch is not looked up as a PR head.
  • User docs gain one sentence on naming the parent remote upstream.

Tests: GitManager creates a fork PR on upstream with an owner-qualified head and an upstream-based diff range, and skips lookup for a branch tracking the fork's main. The registry tests cover --repo targeting for a fork pair and cover origin staying the target for unrelated upstream remotes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • GitHub fork workflows now target the parent repository for pull-request listings and creation while keeping changes on the fork’s branch. Pull requests and commit summaries use the appropriate fork and upstream context.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for configuring the parent repository as upstream when working with GitHub forks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GitHub fork handling now selects a matching upstream remote for pull-request operations while retaining the fork as the push and head remote. Repository selectors pass through provider operations to GitHub CLI commands. Git branch resolution and tests cover target selection, pull-request matching, and base-range behavior.

Changes

GitHub fork-aware pull requests

Layer / File(s) Summary
GitHub fork upstream selection
apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlProviderRegistry.ts, apps/server/src/sourceControl/SourceControlProviderRegistry.test.ts
The registry selects upstream when its GitHub repository matches origin by host and repository name but has a different owner. Tests cover matching upstreams and cases that retain origin.
GitHub repository context and CLI operations
apps/server/src/sourceControl/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts, apps/server/src/sourceControl/GitHubCli.ts
GitHub provider operations derive an optional repository selector from the selected remote. The CLI passes that selector to pull-request listing, viewing, creation, default-branch lookup, and checkout commands.
Git branch and pull-request resolution
apps/server/src/git/GitManager.ts, apps/server/src/git/GitManager.test.ts, docs/user/source-control.md
GitManager uses the provider-bound remote for pull-request head and base resolution. Tests cover fork pull-request behavior, and the documentation describes the upstream remote setup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to aa75c

Opening a pull request from a fork owned by an organization can fail, because the head reference is passed in a form that GitHub CLI does not support. A narrower edge case can also select the wrong target: two GitHub Enterprise instances on the same hostname but different ports may be treated as one. Fix the organization-fork creation path before merging.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR changes production GitHub behavior across remote selection, PR lookup and creation, checkout, and base resolution for fork worktrees. It also adds a test-level directive disabling a static-analysis diagnostic, so the breadth of the runtime change and the explicit suppression warrant human review.

532-532: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Share the qualified fork-head listing logic between the CLI and the provider. Both sites parse owner:branch, expand the CLI limit, filter by head branch and owner login, then apply the requested limit. The two copies already differ: the CLI caps the query at 100, while the provider uses Math.max(requestedLimit, 100). Extract one helper so the behaviour cannot drift again.

  • apps/server/src/sourceControl/GitHubCli.ts#L532-L532: use the shared limit calculation instead of the fixed 100.
  • apps/server/src/sourceControl/GitHubSourceControlProvider.ts#L181-L230: call the shared qualified-head parse, limit, and owner filter helper instead of the local copy.

In a GitHub fork checkout (origin = your fork, upstream = its parent),
T3 Code treated origin as the pull request target. Lookups compared the
head against the fork and PR creation passed an unqualified head, so gh
could not open the pull request on the parent.

The source control registry now binds a GitHub `upstream` that is the
same repository as origin under another owner. The GitHub provider pins
gh to that repository with `--repo`, and GitManager resolves head
identity, owner-qualified heads, and the PR diff base against it. A
feature branch that still tracks the fork's own default branch is not
looked up as a PR head.
