We've renamed the 4-stable branch to main 🔀

Hey all 👋🏻

This is a heads-up that we've renamed some of the branches on octokit/octokit.rb to make it easier for us to evolve the project and make it better and better ✨

Until today, our default branch was 4-stable because the current major version of Octokit was v4.x. But we're about to release a new major version, v5.x, dropping support for deprecated Ruby versions

To avoid having a branch name that refers to an old version, we've now renamed the 4-stable branch to main. Open pull requests pointing to the 4-stable branch have automatically been moved to target the new default branch.

If you've already cloned octokit.rb locally, you can run the following commands in your shell so your local repository understands the new repository structure.

git branch -m 4-stable main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

There was also a 5-alpha branch which contained some two-year old experimental code aiming to shift the package to be auto-generated from GitHub's OpenAPI specification. We've renamed that branch to next-alpha.
