> Github api seems to force the default branch to main (on new repos)

Jesus, really? I didn't pay much attention to the master nonsense because I figured it would be limited to projects who cared more about social performance than building something useful, but it sounds like it's being forced at the platform-level onto every project.

OTOH, the impact is mitigated for new projects




I may have misspoken, you can change the default branch after the fact, my issue was with the "auto-create README" feature
