Agents window: unable to create PR when remote is not origin #333131

Description

@ntrogh

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No

  • VS Code Version: latest Insiders (1.136)
  • OS Version: Windows

When the remote repository is not called "origin", the create PR functionality in the Agents window silently fails and no PR is created.

Log output:
