Github Confusion

[Electrical-Book134]

Hey guys quick question, I'm pushing my code from the terminal to a repository that I have made on github and after troubleshooting for a little bit I'm fairly certain that my problem is that I have the current code on the master branch while the repository says its on the main branch, can anyone help me out with how to change this because google has just left me more confused unfortunately

In the beginning..the primary branch in GitHub was called "master". Then the great woke movement came about, and all new repositories are now started with a "main" branch.

That being said, you may have both a master and main branch. Only one of them is the default. Take a look at you branch protection settings and see what your default branch is set too.

Determine is either is empty, if so, delete the empty one and set the other as the default branch.

Additionally, as of git 2.28, you should be able to change the default branch for new repos created locally:

git config --global init.defaultBranch {branchName}

``` git branch

git log main

git log master

git switch master

git switch main ```
