> For that reason I always use a git config variable to reference such branches. In my global git config it's main

    $(git config user.primaryBranch)

What about using git's own `init.defaultBranch`?

I mean, while useless in terms of `git init` because the repo's already init'd, this works:

    git config --local init.defaultBranch main

And if you have `init.defaultBranch` set up already globally for `git init` then it all just works
