The command git-config allows this. The parameter init.defaultBranch, as the documentation says, it allows you to define another name for the branch used in the creation of a new repository or when you clone an existing repository. The scope of this definition depends on the modifier used (-system, -global, -worktree, -file or --local).

Of documentation https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config

init.defaultBranch
  Allows overriding the default branch name e.g. when initializing a new repository or 
  when cloning an empty repository.
