I asked Chris for a clarification off-list, he confirmed that he's initializing the Git repository from within NetBeans, not on the command line like I do.
I really appreciate that NetBeans shows me with blue and green and red how files have changed since the last commit. It's something that IntelliJ IDEA users also take for granted, but which might be a revelation for people who've only used Eclipse. But I don't trust any of these IDEs to issue Git commands. And in the case of NetBeans, it sounds like Chris's issue is yet another case of programs being slow to adopt the change from master branch to main branch, not necessarily because of disagreement with the cause (though I'm sure there are some of those) but simple inertia (which I think is the case with NetBeans). So what I would do as a temporary fix is find the project on the command line, C:\Users\AL> cd NetBeansProjects\MyProject then C:\Users\AL\NetBeansProjects\MyProject> git status just to be sure, and then C:\Users\AL\NetBeansProjects\MyProject> git checkout -b main However, I have never actually used NetBeans for any project with more than one Git branch (though I have used IntelliJ and Eclipse for such projects). I believe my suggestion will put NetBeans on the branch you just checked -b out to. But I have not tested this and don't know what issues you might run into.
