About changing the default branch
You can choose the default branch for a repository. The default branch is the base branch for pull requests and code commits. For more information about the default branch, see "About branches."
Note: If you use the Git-Subversion bridge, changing the default branch will affect your trunk branch contents and the HEAD you see when you list references for the remote repository. For more information, see "Support for Subversion clients" and git-ls-remote in the Git documentation.
基本要求
To change the default branch, your repository must have more than one branch. 更多信息请参阅“创建和删除仓库中的分支”。
