Expand description

Extract owner from a git remote URL.

Used for client-side filtering of PRs/MRs by source repository. When multiple users have PRs with the same branch name (e.g., everyone has a feature branch), we need to identify which PR comes from our fork/remote, not just which PR we authored.

§Why not use --author?

The gh pr list --author flag filters by who created the PR, not whose fork the PR comes from. These are usually the same, but not always:

  • Maintainers may create PRs from contributor forks
  • Bots may create PRs on behalf of users
  • Organization repos: --author company doesn’t match individual user PRs

§Why client-side filtering?

Neither gh nor glab CLI support server-side filtering by source repository. The gh pr list --head flag only accepts branch name, not owner:branch format. So we fetch PRs matching the branch name, then filter by headRepositoryOwner.
