open-on-github When on a local branch that doesn't exist on Github, plugin defaults to branch "master" even when the repo's default branch is not "master"

The repo I work in the most uses staging as the name of the default branch instead of master. If I check out a local branch that doesn't exist on Github and I do "Open on Github: Blame", the URL points to the master branch instead of staging - and consequently fails to find the commit.

I can reproduce the issue even if a remote branch exists with that name.

Would be cool if default branch can be configured.

Also noticed that File opens master branch and Copy url copies current commit url. Unexpected.

I also have the same problem even when the branch exists on github, and I wonder if this package is just abandoned?

lol, I think my problem might be because I have / in the branch name :) will check

I have the same problem, and I use a 'standard' repo with main as the default branch. I'm happy to make a PR to fix this
