In any case, it makes sense to use separate words for the concept
("default" --- as in "the name given to the first branch created in
the repository by default") and the actualy value chosen for the
entity (master or main in this case).
The statement:
I configure in ~/.gitconfig that the default branch name for all my
repositories to be 'main'
is much easier to read than the last 'main' replaced with 'default'.
