flux bootstrap github command error (cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field Repository.custom_properties of type string)

[andreistefanzx]

When using the flux bootstrap github command with a repository that has custom properties, the command fails with the following error:

✗ failed to get Git repository "https://github.com/ORG_NAME/REPO_NAME": provider error: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field Repository.custom_properties of type string

Command used:

flux bootstrap github \
  --components-extra=image-reflector-controller,image-automation-controller \
  --owner="OWNER" \
  --repository="REPO_NAME" \
  --path=k8s/clusters/prod/CLUSTER_NAME \
  --branch="main" \
  --registry=REGISTRY_NAME \
  --toleration-keys=TOLERATION_NAME \

I have a fix here #4959 can you please build the CLI and confirm it works?

git clone https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2.git
cd flux2
git switch fix-github-bootstrap
make build-dev
./bin/flux bootstrap github

it works fine. When do you think we'll get this on the main branch? Thanks.
