I've changed default branch from Master to Main

#git #github

I've made a small change to my git configuration, which anyone should be able to do today. I've updated my git to the latest 2.28. I think is a good step for my workflow, as seeing and repeating master on conference calls was a bit aggravating for me.

On Windows:

git update-git-for-windows

Run through the prompts.

On Ubuntu:

Canonical repos might not be up to date, so you will need a ppa repo fortunately there is one for git:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install git -y

On Mac:

brew ugprade git

I no longer have a mac, so can't confirm this is the latest.

Check version, and update your default branch name. Mine is main, but yours can be something else like latest, production, etc.

git --version
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
