Research direction

Start by locating where the tool selects the main or master branch, then review the requested git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD behavior. Done means the tool works in repositories whose active branch has another name, while preserving its existing behavior for main and master.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

This tool appears to only allow working on main branch, but the repo I want to run it on has no main or master branch.

Could it get the currently active one instead, using git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD or something like that?
