Hey,

Github has changed the way they name branches, so now instead of the
`master` branch there is the `main` branch however, I'm having some
trouble with the naming

**Steps to replicate my problem**

1. Create a new Github repository and make sure the default branch is `main`
2. Add something to the repo, a `README.md` file should be enough
3. Instead of cloning the repo make a new directory with your repo's
name `mkdir <repo_name>` and change the directory to it `cd
<repo_name>`
4. `git init`
5. Add the remote repo with `git remote add origin <repo_link>`
6. Pull the `main` branch from the remote repo with `git pull origin main`.

After the step number 6. instead of my branch changing to `main` my
current branch is changed to `master` which has every file and change
of the branch `main`. This is a real problem because if I try to push
changes to `main` although my current branch shows up as `master` it
creates another branch called `master` on Github and the `main`
remains unchanged. Yeah sure I can `git checkout main` after that and
make my changes there but I'm not sure why it defaults to `master` and
copies `main` from Github into local branch `master`.

P.S. If you were to use `git fetch origin` instead of `git pull origin
<branch_name> and then manually change branch to `main` with `git
checkout main` it would work. Also, if you were to clone the Github
repo using `git clone <link>` you will get the correct current branch
that is `main`.

Sincerely,
Alex
