Installation example from README seems to fail

[TheApeMachine]

Hi, I am trying to run the bootstrapping process, every previous command was copy pasted from the README, changing the values where needed. It's a private repo. It did create the repo, but it is left empty.

argocd-autopilot repo bootstrap
INFO cloning repo: https://github.com/rocsys/backend-pipeline.git 
INFO repository 'github.com/rocsys/backend-pipeline' was not found, trying to create it... 
WARNING --provider not specified, assuming provider from url: github 
INFO empty repository, initializing a new one with specified remote 
FATAL failed to initialize repository: a branch named "refs/heads/master" already exists

tried to do a second run, thinking now that the repo is created it may follow a different and successful path through the code, which results in:

argocd-autopilot repo bootstrap
INFO cloning repo: https://github.com/rocsys/backend-pipeline.git 
INFO empty repository, initializing a new one with specified remote 
FATAL failed to initialize repository: a branch named "refs/heads/master" already exists

I could be wrong, but I tried to put some extra debug lines in the code and it seems like the repository is created on some in-memory file system, and then initialized by the gogit package. Then another initialize method seems to be called that tries to initialize on the same file system.

$ go run cmd/main.go repo bootstrap

I see the same problem with v0.2.23.

If I set git config --global init.defaultBranch master I can reproduce the issue.

Using main, something else, or unsetting it should serve as a workaround.

I'm also seeing the same issue with v0.3.1. I have master as the defaultBranch set in .gitconfig for backward-compatibility reasons, and this is causing a problem for me.
