They usually pick what is the first branch pushed, e.g. on my Gitea I
pushed the borg branch for emacs.d first and than it did thought I use
borg as master branch.

You can change the default branch in the setting of the relevant forge.
You can do this either for your own account, for your organization or
instance (if you run your own).

For example for Gitea the global option to set the default branch is this one:
