github - Change from master to a new default branch git

Question

Here is a scenerio:

We have a default branch Master and we work off from this, creating branches and pushing up etc...

We have now created a Develop branch off Master and set this as a default development branch.

What I would like to know is, how do I now know if my git pull command is requesting changes from the default branch via the command line? or point to this new default branch?

What I have done: - Since creating a new default branch git pull into my master from origin/master

Also, any neww branch, will it be from Master or Develop?

As you can see

On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

update: this change of default branch occurred after cloning the repo.

Answer 1

With git 2.28 you can set a global config with this command git config --global init.defaultBranch {branchName}

Replace {branchName} with the default branch name and now whenever you create a new git repo, the default branch will be this.
