How do I add a remote?

[llimllib]

I'm attempting to follow the getting started doc's "Start with new repo" section to back up my obisidan repo to an existing, empty, github repository. Here's what I did:

1. Install the plugin
2. run the "initialize a new repo" command
3. run "edit remotes"

and here's where I get stuck. The text on that command says "select or create a new remote by typing its name and selecting it", but I cannot figure out how to create a remote; I've tried putting the URL in and hitting enter, putting the URL in and selecting it, putting a remote name instead of a URL and doing the same things, and nothing seems to work.

No matter what I do, I get "error: no such remote".

I'm a frequent github user, and have OS X authentication set up properly.

Do I need to go into the repository and add the remote manually, or is there a way to do this within obsidian that I'm not seeing?

OK I followed the code a bit:

• edit remotes calls getRemoteUrl
• getRemoteUrl runs git remote get-url <name> against the remote name you passed in
• this throws an uncaught exception if the remote name does not exist

So I don't understand how that command could possibly create a remote - it fails as soon as it finds that the remote name you've entered does not exist?

I see that the code exists a few lines later to add a remote, but this code never gets hit. This is a bug, right?

To be more precise, getRemoteUrl seems to be returning a promise that rejects, not throwing an exception, but the result is the same - the code ceases execution and never proceeds to allow you to add a remote

There was an issue with creating a remote, which has been fixed now. You can add a remote by calling the edit remotes command and typing the name of a not existing remote.
