nanoclaw/setup/lib/channels-remote.sh

# channels-remote.sh — resolve the git remote that carries the `channels`
# branch. Source this file and call `resolve_channels_remote`; echoes the
# remote name (e.g. `origin` or `upstream`).
#
# Typical fork setups keep the upstream nanoclaw repo under a remote named
# `upstream`, with `origin` pointing at the user's fork. The channels branch
# only lives upstream, so a hardcoded `git fetch origin channels` fails for
# forks. This helper walks `git remote -v`, picks the remote whose URL points
# at qwibitai/nanoclaw, and prints its name.
#
# Fallback: if no existing remote matches, add `upstream` pointing at
# github.com/qwibitai/nanoclaw and return that — keeps forks without an
# explicit upstream configured working on the first try.
#
# Explicit override: set NANOCLAW_CHANNELS_REMOTE=<name> to skip detection.
