Additional context

We have the option set in ADO for default branches to be named "main". When I create a new repo via az repos create --name foo, a repo does get created but with a default "master" branch.

Also, I don't see a CLI option to set which branch name to use when creating the repo. I'm not interested in creating one with master, then creating main, then changing the default to main, if that is even possible via the CLI...

Also also, I tried upgrading viz az upgrade, which uses Python, which launched an MSI, which couldn't complete because Python was running. lol

Hi @josh-endries,

2.42.0 is not the latest Azure CLI(2.51.0).

If you haven't already attempted to do so, please upgrade to the latest Azure CLI version by following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/update-azure-cli.
