Macro cannot find a file in a repository that still uses "master"

What you are seeing

The macro cannot find a file in a repository that still uses "master" as its default branch.


#Why it happens

Capable assumes the default branch is 'main'. Only the Appfire File migrator assumes 'master'.


#What to do

Pick the file through Browse GitHub, which uses the repository's actual default branch, or paste a URL that names the branch explicitly.

What it does

Hide GitHub across the whole site

A site-wide app property set by your admin

Hides GitHub across your site. This only removes the GitHub byline. It does not stop existing GitHub macros from showing on pages.

Turn GitHub on or off per space

A space property

Always off hides the byline in that space. Always on shows it even on pages with no GitHub macro. Again, this affects the byline only. Macros still show.

Unlicensed and anonymous access

Not user-configurable

Readers outside your licence, or not logged in, can still see public file content in a read-only view, but they do not get the GitHub byline.
