Git Gateway Error accessing Admin panel on a brand-new one-click deployment about one-click-hugo-cms HOT 5 CLOSED

I found a fix for this. I created a new git branch called master and pushed it up to the GitHub remote. I then tried to log in again and this time it was successful. I don't know why admin auth via Netlify ID doesn't work when a branch called master doesn't exist in the remote, even though main is set as the the default branch in git as well as the production branch in Netlify. Maybe some older, hardcoded assumption to check for master instead of main? Note that I did not even need to deploy from master to fix the problem: the fact that the GitHub API call the Netlify Hugo app makes finds a master branch as expected is enough for it to work. See screenshot attached of API calls when login is unsuccessful.

I was able to get this working by adding the branch: main attribute for backend obj at the top of ./site/static/admin/config.yml

backend:
  name: git-gateway
  branch: main # add this line

Ack! This is a gnarly bug y'all stumbled into! I fully agree with @jwsy's solution for changing the branch to main. I've recently made this change to the HEAD of the project so folks hopefully don't have this happen to them for the future! Thank you so much for reporting it and hope to be able to address any more problems with y'all!

Thank you so much for the workaround, I was beating my head to the wall with this earlier!
