How to migrate master branch to main in Github?

Few months back, Github changed the default branch from master to main. Due to this change, most of the projects were forced migrate from master to main branch. Recently I faced this problem for one of my projects.

After multiple trials and errors, I successfully migrated my project to main branch. I would like to share the steps and it would help you when you face the similar problem in the future.

1: Connect local repo with your remote repo

2: Pull the main source code

3: Move the source from master to main branch

4: Add and commit your changes

5: Set upstream and push changes to remote

Now all your changes will be available in the remote main branch.

NOTE: Backup your source code before you do all these changes.
