I want to push my code to github on the main branch not on the master branch

I have a folder with code files. I wanted to push them to github using git. This is what I've done:

1. I created a new repository on github.

2. I initialized a git repo in my local directory.

3. I staged my files.

4. I made my initial commit.

5. Then I run- git remote add origin https://github.com/Lamphrangmi-Lamin/Bootcamp-Survey.git

6. It says on branch master but I wanted it to be on 'main' branch instead.

7. After that I run this command- git push -u origin main

8.And it shows me this-

   error: src refspec main does not match any
   error: failed to push some refs to 'https://github.com/Lamphrangmi-Lamin/Bootcamp-Survey.git'

What I wanted was to have my files on the main branch.

You need to create main branch first:

git checkout -b main
git push -u origin main

You can then delete the old master branch:

git branch -d master

For future, you can configure the name of git's default branch (assuming you are running version 2.28 or later):

git config --global init.defaultBranch main

You could also keep the branch named master in your local repo, but push to main on the remote side:

git push -u origin master:main
