Added some things so "git init" will default to main instead of master. #926

Like everything else ... stole from SO https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42871542/how-to-create-a-git-repository-with-the-default-branch-name-other-than-master/50880622#50880622

No this doesn't change this repo to use main, I figured that would require collaborators to do.

There are more things we could do ... see https://www.hanselman.com/blog/EasilyRenameYourGitDefaultBranchFromMasterToMain.aspx

We could add alias or even functions to help convert existing repos.

An easy thing we can do to avoid language rooted in oppression.

Btw, if anyone is looking for a tool to convert existing repos, I highly recommend @mheap's excellent https://github.com/mheap/github-default-branch.

@mathiasbynens There's a shortened link in .macos that points to the same file in master branch.

Links is: https://mths.be/macos which resolves to https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/blob/master/.macos.

@kt0 Thanks! Fixed.
