Subject: [PATCH] Handle git push when there is no remote (#54522)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Previously hitting `Publish` in the git panel would silently fail with
no error message if the git repo was new or didn't have a remote.

Now, when hitting `Publish` or attempting to push when there is no
remote using keyboard shortcuts, or using `Push To` or force push
options, an error message will be displayed.
