Re:Tell HN: GitHub will delete your private repo if you lose... by Alupis on Tuesday January 31, 2023 @08:47PM (#34605217)
There was zero disagreement about what to call the default branch in git prior to this linguistic crusade.

GitHub practically invented the exact situation you're experiencing now by changing to main for all new repos.

Git itself still defaults to master. Everything else is not the default and is the root cause for the uncertainty.
