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.
#Settings involved
Setting | Where | 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. |
#Limits that apply here
Limit | Value | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Repository list size | 100 at a time | The picker loads your repositories 100 at a time. |
Public repository search: first page only | - | Search runs only when you type a query, and only for the first page of results. Paging further shows only your own repositories. |
Image height | 800px | Images in the macro show up to 800px tall. |
