Fix for the error in line 31:

let branchNameElement = document.getElementsByClassName("gh-header-meta")[0].children[1].children[0].querySelector('.commit-ref');
            if (!branchNameElement) {
                // Refined GitHub disabled extension:
                branchNameElement = document.getElementsByClassName("gh-header-meta")[0].children[1].children[2]
            }
