Upstream repo usability

[ChrisLauinger77]

What problem does this solve in your daily Git work?

Adding and removing a remote like a fork or upstream not possible.
Pull request upstream also not possible. (only PR to current repo are supported it seems)

Proposed solution

It should be possible to add upstream / a fork of the repo (when its upstream) from UI.
It should be possible to make a PR into upstream . I just tried to do one from my fork to your repo and it was not possible - seems I can only PR on my own repo. I do a lot of fork / PR to upstream.

Alternatives you've considered

A default folder which is preselected for every clone would also be handy.
I think people have all their repos in the same folder ? Or is it just me ?

The terminal does not have a right click popup menu.

I noticed also one thing on windows - open in file manager does not open the folder of the file.
Works on my macbook air and linux main machine but not on work windows 11 notebook

Shipped in 0.15.0. You can add a remote from the Remotes header now, and when a repo has a fork and an upstream on the same host the create dialog gets an "Into repository" choice, preset to upstream, so the PR goes where you want it. The clone dialog remembers the last folder you cloned into (Settings → Git → Clone destination to change it), and the terminal has a right-click menu. Thanks for the list, and for the titlebar PR.

THANK YOU !

Missed your Windows note, sorry. That's a real bug: the path handed to Explorer's /select switch had forward slashes in it and got quoted as a whole, which Explorer refuses, so it fell back to a default folder. Fixed on main, ships in the next version. If you get a chance to try it on the work notebook then, I'd like to hear whether it selects the file.

Sure I retest it on the work notebook as soon as the version is released
