Hi, maybe this helps you reproduce. I think I should have committed before doing the second changes but I still got the error message and the two names for one folder:
me@iMac:/tmp$ mkdir git_bug
me@iMac:/tmp$ cd git_bug
me@iMac:/tmp/git_bug$ git init
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
