Error Message and Logs

Hello, I run into weird error where I can't deploy resource which comes from public github repository.

Some logs:

Deployment failed. Removing the new version of your application.

I have tried other repositories and it seems to produce same issue.

Just, while writing this issue, I tried to test another repository (https://github.com/trekab/skilled-e-learning-landing-page/).
And it seems to deploy it correctly.

The main difference seems to be that in previous repository, the main branch is called master and in this new repo, it is main branch.

Steps to Reproduce

1. New Resource.
2. Under Applications, Git Based - select "Public Repository".
3. Select available server.
4. Paste public repository url, e.g. https://github.com/TestStack/teststack.github.com.git and click "Check Repository".
5. Then in the "Create a new Application" modal, select build pack "Static" and click continue.
6. Within configuration page, click "Deploy".

Example Repository URL

No response

Coolify Version

v4.0.0-beta.387

Are you using Coolify Cloud?

No (self-hosted)

Operating System and Version (self-hosted)

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

Additional Information

So from my understanding, it seems to be failing due to branch named main not being available within the repository.
As from the logs we can see it, somehow decided to use main:

docker exec v48ockgoc8k0cswscowoo8ok bash -c 'git clone -b "main" https://github.com/TestStac******************************

For me, it's not big issue as I was just testing out coolify, but thought I would create this as an issue.

Yes that is because you need to change the branch name to master for it to work, the default is main:
