Publish a local repository

After local repository add, create, or onboarding import, OCP can run a shared optional post-creation flow.

What the flow offers

• optional Git initialization with an initial commit
• optional GitHub publish using gh repo create
• persistence of the discovered origin URI into the configured repository entry while preserving the explicit localPath

For the exact publish conditions and defaults, see Repository commands and Configuration and paths.

Defaults

• Git init default: yes for interactive create and onboarding, no for adding an existing local repository
• GitHub publish default: no
• visibility default when publishing: private

Conditions

The GitHub publish prompt only appears when:

• gh auth status succeeds
• the repository does not already have an origin remote

If a file-based repository already has a configured origin, OCP persists that URI immediately instead of asking to publish again.

Failures in this optional post-creation flow do not roll back an otherwise successful add, create, or onboarding operation.
