Hello,

git by default now uses git main instead of git master.
The course content still uses git master by default.

Thanks.

    @zacts GitHub changed their default branch name to 'main'. Git still uses 'master'. When you use 'git init' to initialize a repository on your machine, you are using Git and the default branch name will be 'master'.

    Oh, I didn't realize that.

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Hello,

    I was refering to the git commands from ch5 of the LFS261 course. Both the course material there and the Lab 3 PDF use 'master' as the primary branch to work with versus the 'main' branch. I was just a bit confused.
    @ericegan noted that this is a change in GitHub and not a change in git itself.
