We mention the `gitbox` keyword neither in the sources, nor in the docs. There is a GitHub link at the top right corner of every page in the website.
`pom.xml`s SCM block points to GitHub. `CONTRIBUTING.md` only hints to GitHub resources – though I agree there is no direct link to the repository there. I think everybody _assumes_ GitHub is the default repository. Maybe we should clearly document this. Regarding the `nonexistent ref` error you get, we have renamed quite some branches[1]. In particular, `master` → `main` and `release-2.x` → `2.x`. I hope this clarifies things for you.
