Fuck those that use main. If you're working on a library fork that has main and a project that has master you're bound to invert the two.

"What do you mean I can't checkout main? Oh right, here it's master..."

For once that we had a standard, it had to be ruined.

git checkout ma

If you don't have autocomplete set up for your shell, get it working. If someone has a different branch named ma..., ask if you can delete it, and get your team to adopt a decent branch naming convention.

...yeah, I already said that if there is another branch starting with those letters it should be deleted. You need a naming convention.

I really wish to work in a team where people have naming conventions for branches that are concerned about stuff like that. Must've been a nice place to work at.

Whoever named the "final final fixed" one seems to have missed the point of version control. 😑
