how can i change git_main_branch

Question

I used gcm(alias to git checkout $(git_main_branch)) to switch branches in my project, but switched to trunk branch, I expected to switch to master branch.

echo $(git_main_branch)
trunk

change git_main_branch to master rather than trunk. In my other project, git_main_branch is master as my expected

Answer 1

You can override the function in your .zshrc like so:

function git_main_branch() {
  def=`git remote show origin | sed -n '/HEAD branch/s/.*: //p'`
  echo $def
}
