fix: error when --remote flag used with repo argument#12375
Conversation
When a repository argument is provided to `gh repo fork`, the command operates independently of the current local repository. Using --remote in this context is incompatible because there's no local repository to add the remote to. This change returns an explicit error when these flags are combined, providing clear feedback instead of silently ignoring the --remote flag.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for the fix on this old issue. I think just error'ing out to be clear about what is supported is a good first step here. If someone has a use-case to support --remote here in the future, I think we should tackle that in a new issue.
