# 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".

---

## Why it happens

The default branch is 'main' throughout. Only the Appfire File migrator defaults to '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 | App property \`capable-global-hidden-capabilities\`, object name \`hiddenCapabilities\`, value    | Hides the capability tenant-wide. IMPORTANT: this gates the BYLINE ONLY. The macro module has no display conditions, so hiding the capability does not stop existing GitHub macros from rendering on pages.                  |
| Turn GitHub on or off per space   | Space property \`<APP\_HASH>\_capable\`, object name \`capabilities.alwaysOff\` / \`capabilities. | AlwaysOff suppresses the byline in that space; alwaysOn shows it even on pages with no GitHub macro. Again, byline only. Macros still render.                                                                                |
| Unlicensed and anonymous access   | Not user-configurable                                                                             | Granted on the MACRO module only, for both 'unlicensed' and 'anonymous'. So a reader outside the licence, or logged out entirely, still sees public file content in the degraded read-only branch. But gets no "Github" byli |
