Hi!  
I’m traying to deploy on Heroku and get the next message:

> Skipping a deployment with the heroku provider because this branch is not permitted: main

Here is my config file

```yml
language: node_js
cache:
  directories:
    - ~/.npm
node_js:
  - '12'
git:
  depth: 3
script:
  - yarn test
  - yarn build
deploy:
  provider: heroku
  api_key:
    secure: my-encrypted-api-key

```

I cheked the next option on Heroku:

I used this line to generate the api key:

```bach
travis encrypt $(heroku auth:token) --add deploy.api_key

```

My principal and unique branch on github is **main**.

Thanks in advance.

[**A deployment clause has a default implicit condition of `branch: master`.**](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/#conditional-releases-with-on) Your branch `main` doesn’t fulfill it.

So depending on your needs, you need to either adjust that condition (e.g. `branch: main`) or remove it with `all_branches: true`.
