    …which you get a multiline message telling you to change your ways (Linus doesn’t break UX)…every time you init…weird.

    $ git init
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: 	git config --global init.defaultBranch 
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: 	git branch -m

      Gonna be honest, I don’t think I ever read that. I think I usually just do git status immediately after to see if all’s well.
