I had this problem too until I forced myself to use the `gcm` alias from oh-my-zsh’s Git plugin. IIRC it checks out to master if it exists, else main. It has almost entirely removed this distinction from my life.

I hope you never come across a repo that has an old out-of-date `master` branch, because they moved to using `main` in a bad way.

No problem. The parent had it the wrong way around. OMZ will use main if it exists, master otherwise. So a bad move still works!
