Start Working on issue and checkout topic branch, does not uses the right remote.

[javieriserte]

Type: Bug

I have two remotes configured:

• github, that points to github
• origin, that points to another git server.

I have configured my .vscode/settings.json to include:

{
    "githubPullRequests.remotes" : [
        "github"
    ]
}

I can fetch issues and pull request, but when i want to "Start Working on issue and checkout topic branch", by clicking on the button on the issues view. I got an error: "There is no remote. Can't start working on an issue."

On the Github Pull Request output panel, shows this:

2025-02-14 11:28:00.688 [error] FolderRepositoryManager+0> The remote 'origin' is not a GitHub repository.
