When we're executing the command to create a repository, the following arguments are:

gh repo create name

After that the repository will be created on Github, however, when there is a remote track configured, I presume that CLI could print a message to the user showing that there is a remote setting. Instead it;

✓ Created repository OWNER/REPO on GitHub
fatal: remote origin already exists.
git: exit status 128

Proposed solution

Maybe we can print a message with options Y/N to continue.

YES argument

There is a remote URL configured, do you want to create the repo?
✓ Created repository OWNER/REPO on GitHub

NO argument
exit from CLI.

Thank you for the feedback! If I understand, you are suggesting that we ask the user what gh should do in case you called gh repo create and you are already in a git repository that has a git remote called "origin"?

@mislav, exactly. Because with the message fatal: remote origin already exists. as showing for the user and the repo will be created on Github, I believe that it can be unclear for the user at that moment.

Imagine that I'm using the gh repo create name and browsing in a path called /project/gh, but there is a git remote configured at the directory, the new repository will be created on Github, all right? But not remote configured, I need to change the directory, create another one, init the git and set remote URL.
