There are many arguments about the master name of the default branch in Git. So, many services decide to drop master for the name of the branch.
However, when we use Gith on Local, the master branch is still the default branch. So, when we create a new Git repository on local, the branch name is master. And then, we should change it to main. In this blog post, I will show you how to change the default branch to main from master to solve this inconvenience.
Git config
You can configure almost all of the Git settings with the git config command. Of course, you can change the default branch name by this command. Execute the command below to change the default branch name from master to main.
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
After executing this command, when you execute the following command to create a new Git repository, you can see the default branch name is main instead of master.
git init
Completed
Done! we’ve seen how to change the default branch from master to main. It’s very easy, so I hope you configure this and you join this movement.
