git push origin master

So I tried git push origin master and it has created a new branch master. Turns out, my main branch is main while the past repos that i tried had master as main branch. How do I solve this? How can I merge these branches or make master my default branch?

If you want to rename a branch, use the command:
git branch -M [NAME_BRANCH]

so in your case:
git branch -M master
as soon as you have renamed the branch 'master', you can continue as if nothing had happened
