"Git: Initialize Repository" still creates default branch as master instead of main

[aaronsteers]

Type: Bug

1. Open command pallatte.
2. Select Git: Initialize Repository.
3. Note default branch is master.

Furthermore, because nothing has been committed yet, I can't change the branch name until after I commit to the branch.

Since GitHub is already defaulting to main now as default branch, can we do the same here?

I think you can already make this your default by running this command:

git config --global init.defaultBranch main
