Description
It is currently possible to use citgm to test the master branch with the following lookup.json options:
"master": true,
"repo": "https://github.com/org/repo",
"replace": true
However, there's no way to select a different branch, which makes it harder to use CitGM for development.
The fix would be to have the option "branch": "my_branch" instead of "master": true. We can alias "master": true to "branch": "master" for backwards compatibility.

Research direction
Start by tracing how citgm reads lookup.json and handles the existing "master": true option. Add support for selecting a named branch while preserving the existing master behavior, then verify both configurations against the relevant test or command paths identified in the repository.
