Additional context
In the repo folder:
> git remote -v
origin https://github.com/Auspice-Capital/DuckDB.NET/ (fetch)
origin https://github.com/Auspice-Capital/DuckDB.NET/ (push)
upstream https://github.com/Giorgi/DuckDB.NET (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/Giorgi/DuckDB.NET (push)
That one is a public fork, and the same thing happens for other public repos and private repos that aren't forks.
