More specifically, how do I tell if the origin of the repo on disk is a fork of some repo? I am thinking that it should be some API call, but I am not sure. Can I rely on "remote.upstream.url"?

You could use the GitHub API for Repositories to get a specific repo
GET /repos/:owner/:repo
(you can use a curl call from command line)
The JSON answer will include a "fork" field: value true or false.
