Change default branch name for git init

In Git 2.28 (released 27th July 2020), a new configuration option, init.defaultBranch had been introduced to replace the hard-coded term master for the initial branch:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

After setting this variable, running git init will produce a new empty repository whose initial branch is named main. Jee! :shipit:
