I've recently been working on a few different repos with different default
branch names, some use main, some master. The issue is that sometimes I use
Ctrl-R to search my history, but for instance, I'm on a repo where the default
is master and I want to check all ther merged branches, but the first hit in
the history is git branch --merged main.
What I want is a way to alias default to main in some repos, and alias it
to master in others, so that I can use default in commands, and it resolves
to main or master. That way I don't have to worry about what I find the
history and I can use it
This is how you do it:
# Alias from default to main
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/default refs/heads/main
# Alias from default to master
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/default refs/heads/master
