+App Service repositories deploy files to the `master` branch by default. If your preexisting local files are in the `master` branch of your repository, you can now deploy your app by running `git push azure master`.
 
 However, many Git repositories, including the sample code repository for this article, use `main` or another default branch name. To deploy to the correct branch, you must either explicitly deploy to the remote `master` branch, or change the deployment branch to `main` or other branch name and deploy to that branch.
