You had this problem probably because you created your repo with the GitHub web UI?
I always create the local repo first with git init, make at least 1 commit, and then gh repo create.
And yes, my default branch would be master but why should I care if I offend some Americans.
Speaking as a level headed American, YOU DON’T. PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS.
I personally feel that to anthropomorphize a project is to demean that very historical significance. It would have been better to replace the term “slave” with, say, “dog”. Then everybody woulda been happy, but NoOOoOooOOo…
I just got annoyed yesterday when git made the default branch master and had to fiddle to push to githubs main

git push -u origin masterand you’re done. Then in the GitHub repo change the “default branch” to master.Or,
git branch -m mainto rename locally.
