You had this problem probably because you created your repo with the GitHub web UI?

I always create the local repo first with git init, make at least 1 commit, and then gh repo create. And yes, my default branch would be master but why should I care if I offend some Americans.

Speaking as a level headed American, YOU DON'T. PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS.

I personally feel that to anthropomorphize a project is to demean that very historical significance. It would have been better to replace the term "slave" with, say, "dog". Then everybody woulda been happy, but NoOOoOooOOo...
