Hello everyone,
I am new to Julia and have been trying to build it from source. I ran the make command and built it. After that I ran julia and the shell was launched. But when I ran make test it fails. Am I doing something wrong? The version I built is Version 1.7.0-DEV.737.
I get the following output:
```julia

No. I also see some failed tests when running `make test` (just tried).

Does it mean these were expected failures? Since the test summary said FAILURE. I built v1.5.4 as well to compare in which the test summary said SUCCESS. So it means that v.1.6 upon it’s release will have these fails resolved and is incomplete at this point?

I’m not familiar with Julia test suite, but as far as I can see what it’s doing it to clone [`Example.jl`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Example.jl) and check that the default branch is called `master`. But in your system it appears to be called `main`.

Thank you for pointing that out. I changed my init.defaultBranch global git config variable from main to master. Now the libgit2 test does not fail. Can there be any other way to do this since I don’t want to change my global git variable?

Probably if you figure out how libgit2 accesses that config and how to programmatically query it

Be aware that the current master branch you are using has version 1.7.0-DEV.737. It means that is has new commits that version 1.6 will not have. Also I think it is in general somewhat expected to see things failing in master.
