[–] boleary-gl 5y ago ↗ The documentation says master: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-init#Documentation/git-init.txt... but "may be subject to change"When running "git init" on a fresh install, you also get a hint that the branch name may change.

[–] nirvalt 4y ago ↗ Not sure why it matters... Run "git config --global init.defaultBranch [whatever_name_you_want]" and then "git init". The reason why "main" is used is to be more politically correct, so it is up to you.
