Feature Request: on an 404 with master try to redirect to main

See original GitHub issue

When

a repo renames the default branch from master to main
GitHub has no default redirect 😦
i open a deep link to a file at the master branch

Expected

redirect to master
or a default button to main without requesting the default branch

Current

i see an 404
i see the path and strike for dirs which are deleted
but i don’t always see the try default branch button (maybe when it not possible to query for the default branch?)

@yakov116 yup, looks like a cache issue.

@muescha can you try clearing your extension cache from inside the extension options page and trying this out again. Because as @yakov116 mentioned we do already show that link as you are expecting it.

Did not check it out. But maybe they have the default branch already in the cache. We do a 404 check before and on the cache default branch it does not exist.
