The documentation site 'Edit On GitHub' links return a 404

Hello all,

Sorry if this is the wrong means of doing this but I don't feel it warranted an issue being created due to it not being a problem with the code itself.

When I was browsing the documentation website I noticed that the 'Edit on GitHub' links all seem to return a 404.

The links seem to point to the repository on the master branch which must have existed previously before being renamed to main.

For example https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net/edit/master/docs/index.md is the link provided when trying to edit the home page.

This should read https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net/edit/main/docs/index.md.

Hopefully it should just be a matter of updating the base url on the documentation site to https://github.com/octokit/octokit.net/edit/main/docs/.

What's really curious to me is that in most cases, such as clicking on the "Getting Started" guide here, GitHub will redirect to the correct branch and show a little banner:

As for actually fixing this, I'm struggling to find where to make the change. I'm not seeing any relevant configuration in our docs configuration in mkdocs.yml. Searching for "master" in our codebase doesn't lead anywhere that looks useful (though incidentally I created this PR to correct some links using it when they shouldn't be). I wonder if readthedocs.io assumes our default branch incorrectly?
