If \nyou're assisting someone on learning Git, and you have to ask them to \nfind out if their main branch is called \"master\" or \"main\", that adds \ncomplication to the learning process.  They'll wonder if they have to do \nthis every time, etc.  I think it would harm the Git ecosystem for the \ndefault to be changed anywhere - including hosting companies.\n\n-Jefferson\n\nP.S.
