GitHub C2 profile malfunctioning on some situations

[armysick]

Describe the bug

For the GitHub profile to work with Athena, it is mandatory that the repository is not empty, and that the default branch is named "main".

In https://github.com/MythicAgents/Athena/blob/a2bfe4784eca50e16a68ecc242474127f4cc8d52/Payload_Type/athena/athena/agent_code/Agent.Profiles.GitHub/GitHubProfile.cs#L101 will fail unless two conditions are met:

• Repository is not empty
• Branch main exists

Expected behavior Either handle this edge case scenario (see additional data below); Or describe these two conditions as a quick note on the setup documentation.

Thanks for the report, and recommendations! @scottctaylor12 cc'ing the creator of that profile

Thanks for the detailed writeup @armysick! These are great suggestions that I will add to the C2 Profile documentation immediately. Rather than hardcoding the main branch, I will make that a configurable parameter in the near future.
