This should work, after you cherry-pick whatever is left in the master
branch. To carry-over the current local master branch "as-is", you can also
just rename the master branch locally and update the tracking:

# if not already on the master branch
$ git checkout master
# Rename the branch locally
$ git branch -m main
# Update the tracking so that `git pull`/`git push` lookup the remote main
$ git branch -u origin/main
