Failing to push an existing repo to a new remote on GitHub

首先，使用报告中的版本和 GitHub URL 重现经过 Clone.clone、Remote.create、getBranch、checkoutBranch、Branch.setUpstream 和 remote.push 的流程。检查相关的 NodeGit remote 和 branch API 行为以及 push 结果；完成的标准是，现有 clone 的 master 在新的 GitHub repository 中可见地存在，并且所需的调用顺序已得到验证。

System information

• node version: 18.8.0
• npm or yarn version: 8.18.0
• OS/version/architecture: MacOS 12.5.1
• Applicable nodegit version: 0.28.0-alpha.18

What I'm Trying to Do

I'm writing an application that clones a repository from one location and pushes it to another. In vanilla git, the commands would be:

git remote add copy https://github.com/org/repo.git
git push -u copy master

I've consulted a few existing closed issues, including #1261 and #463, but am still a bit confused as to why I am not getting the results I expect.

Code

const forkDefaultBranch = `master` (obtained from an incoming webhook payload from GitHub)
const copy.data.html_url = (a url to an empty GitHub repository, created from an earlier API call)

// clone the fork
const fork = await Clone.clone(context.payload.repository.html_url, forkPath, cloneOptions)

// add a remote
const remote = await Remote.create(fork, 'copy', copy.data.html_url)

// get the default branch
const defaultBranch = await fork.getBranch(forkDefaultBranch)

// checkout the branch
await fork.checkoutBranch(defaultBranch)

I've verified in my file system that the remote is properly created.

From here I've tried both setting the upstream branch:

// set the upstream
await Branch.setUpstream(defaultBranch, 'copy/' + forkDefaultBranch)

which returns the error:

[Error: cannot set upstream for branch 'master'] {
  errno: -3,
  errorFunction: 'Branch.setUpstream'
}

And, following #463, I've attempted to first push to the repo:

await remote.push(['refs/heads/master:refs/heads/master'], pushOptions)

which returns no errors, but does not successfully push to GitHub as I still see the quick setup screen.

The Question

What is the proper way to push an existing repository to a new, empty repo on GitHub using nodegit?
