Renaming your git master branch to main
If you've gotten a certain urge to rename your git master branch to something else, here's how to rename it to main:
Select branch
git checkout master
Rename it
git branch -m master main
Get latest from your repository
git fetch
Remove upstream information
git branch --unset-upstream
Set a new upstream
git branch -u origin/main
Let HEAD point to your new branch
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
Hope this helps
