What's the problem this PR addresses?
This PR adds --initial-branch=master option to ensure consistent test behavior across different development environments.
Git has used main as the default branch for quite some time now, while our tests expect master. When I ran the integration tests with my default configuration (using main), they failed due to this mismatch.
