New Git CLI Commands

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

git init -b main

If you are still using a version of Git prior to version 2.28.x Then you can still work with the changes in Github. Just create a new branch called main and switch to that. The following command will create the main branch and switch to it.

git checkout -b main

Then, if you want you can delete the master branch.

git branch -d master
