VIEW: Add Warning Or Disclaimer For Having Git Init Default Head Branch Set To Master Instead Of Main

[Spectralgo]

On the first automated commit, if the default branch name in standardly code generator is "main" and the local git init default is set to "master", there are nasty, dirty pushes to github.

@Spectralgo @coeur85 GitHub CLI does not currently offer a command to check the default branch name so it would not be possible to do that check at the moment to do this validation.

GitHub uses main by default. If you are creating your repo via Visual Studio and this is setting up the branch as master then you could run this command to ensure Visual Studio uses main next time.

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

i able to retrieve the default branch with this command with git hub cli
gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef

does that help ?

Thanks @coeur85, I will have another look.
