Improve error message "Unable to find GitHub repository matching 'anka-213'"

See original GitHub issue

Issue Type: Bug

Steps to reproduce

Create a new branch on a fork and push the “publish branch” button in vs-code
Click yes on “do you want to create a pull request”
Fill in the details and press “Create”

Results

I get the error message

Unable to find GitHub repository matching 'anka-213'.

(Or whatever your github user name is)

Additionally, in the UI for creating a pull request, the “Merge changes from” box only allows choosing the upstream. My fork is not an option, despite it existing on github and in the list of remotes.

More info:

$ git remote -v

By default, we only pay attention to remotes called upstream and origin. You can add additional remote using this setting:
"githubPullRequests.remotes": [
  "origin",
  "anka-213"
]

What is the reasoning behind this behavior? Why do you need an explicit list of remotes when the current branch already tracks a remote branch?

Why can’t the extension just use the current remote branch?
