+# Branch Fix for Git Updater
+
+## Important Note
+
+The separate "GU Branch Fix" plugin is no longer needed. The functionality has been integrated directly into the main "Fix 'Plugin file does not exist' Notices" plugin.
+
+## Integration Details
+
+The main plugin now includes all the necessary Git Updater branch fixes:
+
+1. Branch name override (changes 'master' to 'main')
+2. API URL fixes (replaces '/master/' with '/main/' in API URLs)
+3. Download link fixes (replaces '/master.zip' with '/main.zip')
+4. Repository metadata overrides
+5. Repository type data overrides
+
+These fixes are implemented in the main plugin file (`wp-fix-plugin-does-not-exist-notices.php`) and are automatically loaded when the plugin is activated.
+
+## Usage
+
+Simply activate the main "Fix 'Plugin file does not exist' Notices" plugin, and the Git Updater branch fixes will be applied automatically. There is no need to activate a separate plugin.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you encounter any issues with Git Updater:
+
+1. Make sure you have the latest version of the "Fix 'Plugin file does not exist' Notices" plugin
+2. Deactivate any separate "GU Branch Fix" plugin if it's still installed
+3. Use the "Refresh Cache" button in Git Updater to force it to update plugin information
