What

~~~~

During the course of versioning software history, myriad names have been used

as the default for the chief branch, including `trunk`, `development`,

`develop`, `dev`, `master`, `main`, `mainline`, `baseline`, and sometimes even

`default`.

Why

~~~

Finding Oh My Zsh’s heuristic insufficient (Oh My Zsh decides the default

branch is named `main` if that branch exists, otherwise they assume it’s

`master`), I created this script to more quickly and more accurately ascertain

this information.
