Do not mention branches while creating the first repository?

[alpkaanaksu]

How could the content be improved?

The setup episode includes configuring the git environment and setting the deafult branch to 'main'. The lesson for creating the first repository uses git checkout -b main again, to make sure that we are in the 'main' branch.

This might not be necessary since we already do the configuration step in the previous episode. This forces us to talk about branches prematurely in a context where we want to focus on creating new repositories and the .git directory. This might confuse some learners. If we mention branches, we also need more time to explain them, which would shift the focus of this episode.
