The `default_tags` flag only works on the `master` branch. I’m using the `main` branch on my repositories so I get an error message:

`time="2022-05-20T13:22:14Z" level=info msg="skipping automated docker build for refs/heads/main"`

The default branch for new github repositories is `main` instead of ~~master~~ , see [GitHub - github/renaming: Guidance for changing the default branch name for GitHub repositories](https://github.com/github/renaming) for details. A lot of projects also changed their default branch to `main`.

Could you please also support `main` for the `default_flags` feature - Thanks!

Override it:

```auto
- name: publish_amd64
  image: plugins/docker
  environment:
    DRONE_REPO_BRANCH: yourdefautbranchname

```
