as the default branch name has changed, poetry should both accept main and master.

the workaround is

1. poetry add git+https://github.com/AGeekInside/fastapi-jinja.git#main
2. pip install git+https://github.com/AGeekInside/fastapi-jinja.git

Poetry should simply not specify a branch by default. This should then default to whatever is the server default and this should adhere to expected behaviour. Might require removing this “master is default” assumption at multiple points in the code. PR welcome.

As for the error messages. There is very little we can do here at the moment since the git command is being processed as a subprocess call and errors can happen at various nested levels. Moving to a native python library will help with this in the future. As for immideate improvements, if you can identify any easy wins within the current error handling, PR is welcome, but maybe open another issue for that.

I still faced this issue on the latest Poetry (1.1.6)
