Summary

When specifying a repository for gh repo set-default, users can now use a git remote name (e.g., "origin", "upstream") instead of the full OWNER/REPO format.

Changes

  • Modified argument parsing to first check if the argument is a git remote name
  • If found as a remote name, uses the corresponding repository
  • Falls back to OWNER/REPO format if not found as a remote
  • Added documentation example for using remote names
  • Added test case for remote name argument

Example

# Before: had to use full repo format
gh repo set-default myorg/some-repo-name

# Now: can also use remote name
gh repo set-default origin

Test plan

  • Added test case for "remote name argument"
  • All existing tests pass
  • Updated help example to show remote name usage

Fixes #9149

When specifying a repository for `gh repo set-default`, users can now
use a git remote name (e.g., "origin", "upstream") instead of the
full OWNER/REPO format.

The command first checks if the argument is a git remote name. If
found, it uses the corresponding repository. Otherwise, it falls
back to parsing the argument as OWNER/REPO format.

Example:
  gh repo set-default origin

Fixes cli#9149
