I just set up Mozilla Central with a git wrapper so I can contribute to the main Gecko codebase using Git. It works great, but the default branch has an unusual name compared to what I’m used to.

branches/default/tip

You can create symbolic references in Git, so that the default branch has a name you’re used to.

main -> branches/default/tip
> git checkout main
Switched to branch 'main'
> git status
On branch branches/default/tip
