See original GitHub issueDoes the github link without a branch specified, for example https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/markedjs/marked/lib/marked.js, use the default branch or is hardcoded to the master branch?

Today I found that GitHub supports
@HEADreferences, which seem to point to the default branch, e.g. https://github.com/ractivejs/ractive/blob/HEAD/package.json.However, I couldn’t find anything at all in GitHub docs about it. If anyone finds a resource that confirms this is intended behavior that is safe to rely on, it’ll definitely help.
