there should be a state that sets the git remotes on a repo.

[eedgar]

There is no prebuilt state to set git remotes. This means I have to create my own state or I need to use the cmd.run or git module backend.

git.remote.exists;
name: upstream
path: /path/to/repo
url: git@foo/repo

there should be an absent version of this as well.
git.remote.absent:
name: upstream
path: /path/to/repo

The git.latest state can be used to add a remote, if you also want to checkout.

remote='origin'

Git remote to use. If this state needs to clone the repo, it will clone it using this value as the initial remote name. If the repository already exists, and a remote by this name is not present, one will be added.
