### About the default branch name
### About management of the default branch name
{% data reusables.branches.new-repo-default-branch %} This branch is currently named `master`, but you can set the default branch name to anything that makes sense for your development environment.
When you create a new repository on {% data variables.product.product_location %}, the repository contains one branch, which is the default branch. You can change the name that {% data variables.product.product_name %} uses for the default branch in new repositories you create. For more information about the default branch, see "[About branches](/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-branches#about-the-default-branch)."
