Any logs, error output, etc?

[adisky]

odo takes default branch as master, currently specifying branch name is not supported by odo.
however it should support main as default branch too as many projects are now using main as default branch

[goern]

actually odo should be able to checkout out any branch, isn't the devfile format supporting that?

[adisky]

yes, it should support checkout from any branch. Devfile format supports it, its just not implemented in odo.
