edit: my bad, I expected it to be the case but it turns out I had it in my gitconfig instead.

They are just going along the git default, so yes, a new repo will be on main branch by default.

No, the Git default is still master. GitHub changed their default to main.

Right, I was confused by my .gitconfig.

No, this is still incorrect. It’s not the future default either. Nobody has made the decision to change the default at present.
