Edit this page doesn't work because of main/master configuration

[dullhunk]

Some setting somewhere means the Edit this page link doesn't work in softeng but does in cdyf for example:

At software-eng.netlify.app:

• github.com/dullhunk/softeng/blob/master/07-refactoring.Rmd from View source ✅ because redirects from master to main (default branch)
• github.com/dullhunk/softeng/edit/master/07-refactoring.Rmd from Edit this page ❌ Page not found because there is no redirect

Flashes a message Branch not found, redirected to default branch (possibly referring to master and main?) because actual destinations should be:

• github.com/dullhunk/softeng/blob/main/07-refactoring.Rmd for View source (notice main not master in url)
• github.com/dullhunk/softeng/edit/main/07-refactoring.Rmd for Edit this page (notice main not master in url)

Whereas at at cdyf.me is OK because there is only master, no main

• github.com/dullhunk/cdyf/blob/master/09-broadening.Rmd from View source ✅
• github.com/dullhunk/cdyf/edit/master/09-broadening.Rmd from edit this page ✅

See configuration of _bookdown.yml bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/configuration.html in particular:

• view: https://github.com/dullhunk/softeng/blob/main/%s
• edit: https://github.com/dullhunk/softeng/edit/main/%s

Properties are ignored(?) when in _bookdown.yml and _output.yml at least for bs4_book
