This was working a week ago as you can see from the passing tests on GitHub Actions CI: https://github.com/nelsonic/github-scraper/actions

The problem is the <div> soup that is the GitHub HTML (thanks to the React mess ... 🙄)

The branches value is rendered by React in the browser so it's not available. Closing.
