I thought the branch name had to be different, not just "starter".

Wait, does the extension really need to be installed first? Seems odd.

Okay, let's break this down step-by-step. First, I need to check if the default main branch exists, and if not, initialize it. Then I'll install the Microsoft Security DevOps extension in the User 1-42147509 organization.
