What is main (or master) in Git?

In Git, "main" (or "master") is a naming convention for a branch. After cloning (downloading) a project from a remote server, the resulting local repository has a single local branch: the so-called "main" (or "master") branch. This means that "main" (or "master") can be seen as a repository's "default" branch.
