This change enables running “prr get”, “prr edit”, or “prr submit” without an argument — in which case, prr now auto-detects the repo and PR number by: 1. Parsing the git remote URL: tries “upstream” first (for fork workflows), then, if that's not found, falls back to “origin”. 2. Getting the current branch name. 3. Querying the GitHub API for the PR associated with that branch. For fork workflows, the “upstream” remote identifies the repository to query, while the “origin” remote identifies the fork owner for the head branch filter. When invoked from inside a GitHub repo clone on a PR branch, all that enables you to just run “prr get”, “prr edit”, or “prr submit” with no argument.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Feature seems useful! Overall seems reasonable, some nits below.
Add `upstream_remote` and `origin_remote` optional fields to the
`[local]` config section in `.prr.toml`. These override the default
remote names ("upstream" and "origin") used when auto-detecting the
repository and PR from the current git branch. Useful for setups
where remotes are named differently.
Instead of silently picking the first PR, error out and ask the user to specify the PR explicitly — the ambiguity is too risky.
