Description
Right now we're shelling out to the git command line client to manage git remotes. This is finicky and git version dependent.
Ideally we would use a library so we don't have to use our picky git output parsing code.
This best option right now is https://github.com/libgit2/git2go However, it's based on libgit2, a C library. This removes the option of cross compiling and adds 5 MB to the binary, making it a non-option right now.
I don't think this is anything we can fix soon, I intend this issue mostly to highlight technical debt.
