Change the default branch of a GH repo. I use it with CodeDeploy in order to deploy different branch each time. Enjoy.

	import json,requests,pprint

	gh_url = "https://api.github.com"
	username = 'wehappyfew'
	# a token is needed for 2 Factor Auth, otherwise only Name/Pass
	custom_token = 'blablablablablablabla' # a custom personal token from GitHub
	repo_name = 'your_repo_name'
	new_default_branch = 'something' # this is going to change every time

	#encode to JSON
