Subject: [PATCH v4 6/9] init: allow setting the default for the initial branch name via the config
Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2020 14:46:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7747eaa57de9324b7f7a46f86d1179ce751f76c9.1593009996.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.656.v4.git.1593009996.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Don Goodman-Wilson <don@goodman-wilson.com>

We just introduced the command-line option
`--initial-branch=<branch-name>` to allow initializing a new repository
with a different initial branch than the hard-coded one.

To allow users to override the initial branch name more permanently
(i.e. without having to specify the name manually for each and every
`git init` invocation), let's introduce the `init.defaultBranch` config
setting.
