Open Atom in a new directory\r\n2. Create a new git repository using the `Create repository` button\r\n3. Add a file and make the first commit to the repository using the `Create detached commit` button\r\n4. Check the name of the created branch\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior:**\r\n\r\nThe branch created should be named to match either `init.defaultbranch` from the user's `gitconfig`, or to `main` (to match the default behaviour for new github repositories).\r\n\r\n**Actual behavior:**\r\n\r\nThe default branch is named `master`\r\n\r\n**Reproduces how often:**\r\n\r\n100%\r\n\r\n### Versions\r\n\r\nWindows 10\r\n```\r\n\u003e atom --version\r\n\r\nAtom    : 1.60.0\r\nElectron: 9.4.4\r\nChrome  : 83.0.4103.122\r\nNode    : 12.14.1\r\n\u003e apm --version\r\napm  2.6.2\r\nnpm  6.14.13\r\nnode 12.14.1 x64\r\natom 1.60.0\r\npython 3.9.1\r\ngit 2.33.1.windows.1\r\nvisual studio\r\n```\r\n\r\n### Additional Information\r\n\r\n[My Stack Overflow post on this topic](https://stackoverflow.com/q/71787166/17200791): issue was reproduced on Ubuntu by other user\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/TomVincentUK","@type":"Person","name":"TomVincentUK"},"datePublished":"2022-04-08T10:58:08.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/2755/github/issues/2755"}
