Idea for a strategy to find the repo from the remote list

[Seluj78]

Idea for a strategy to find the repo from the remote list:

• List all remotes
• Filter by keeping only the ones targeting github.com
• Hit the first one on the github API (https://api.github.com/repos/{the_repo})
• See if it has a "parent" attribute:
  • it it has one, the good one is the parent, and we have the github URL. no longer need to care about knowing its local name.
  • if it has none, lucky you it's the right one

Demo of finding it indirectly:

$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/seluj78/python-docs-fr | jq .parent.url
"https://api.github.com/repos/python/python-docs-fr"

Or demo of lucky "it was the right one so it has no parent":

$ curl https://api.github.com/repos/python/python-docs-fr | jq .parent.url
null
