Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI-Manager/issues/1410

With the recent update my personal custom nodes that I have only local to my PC cause the entire Manager "Update All" process to fail because when it gets to my repo it can't find a remote (there is no remote). It stops when it gets to that local node repo and doesn't continue updating any other nodes.

Am I missing something like needing to set something up in my repo to indicate to the Manager that it shouldn't look for a remote? Otherwise, it seems like the Manager should allow for local Custom Nodes that aren't tied to Github but are initialized as local gits, it's very useful for local debugging and development.

This is the actual error:

  File "H:\AppsDir\git\ComfyBase\ComfyUI\custom_nodes\ComfyUI-Manager\glob\manager_core.py", line 1228, in repo_update
    remote = repo.remote(name=remote_name)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "h:\AppsDir\git\ComfyBase\python_embeded\Lib\site-packages\git\repo\base.py", line 460, in remote
    raise ValueError("Remote named '%s' didn't exist" % name)
ValueError: Remote named 'origin' didn't exist```

Just wondering if this is intended behavior, so I can work around it, otherwise I can wait for a fix.

This issue is suspected to occur only with certain custom nodes after snapshot recovery. I’ll take a closer look when I get home.

@ltdrdata Thank you for fixing this issue, I tested it and it is resolved.
I have another issue that may be related: Custom nodes that have a local branch that is not on the original repo will result in Update All failing.

Should I create a new issue or re-open this one and expand the scope?

I also have a local repo without a remote, but I don't encounter any issues when using "Update All."
Are you still experiencing this issue with the latest version?

If the issue still occurs, please upload logs that include the relevant case.

The issue with having a local repo without a remote is resolved, thank you again for doing that so quickly.

But I noticed another potential issues once I could continue using "Update All" that still result in Failed to update ComfyUI or several extensions.
In this case I have installed a custom node from the manager, but then I made my own branch "dev" in order to make a few local edits. In the past, the Manager has just ignored these custom nodes that I have branched, which was fine. In the current Manager I get this error during Update All:
