Last place of employment had develop as the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called it release, I suppose).
Anyway, IMO it communicated “volatile and subject to change” a lot more clearly than things like “head of main” etc
