Azure DevOps now has support to set up the default branch name for new repositories. For Azure DevOps Git Repositories, by default branch name is set to master, and whenever we create new repositories, it takes that as default. Now, you can set up a new name for your default branch, and all the new repositories will be initialized from the same.
