I get into this issue too. The reason is that I didn't have any commit on this
git repository.
When I run the command git branch -M main. I get the following error message.	error: refname refs/heads/master not found	fatal: Branch rename failed
After I add my first commit by the following command, all things works.	git add .	git commit -m 'Init'
