Poem

A README reborn, so crisp and clear,
With braces aligned and whitespace near.
No logic was touched, just polish and shine,
For scripts and docs now perfectly align.
A hop and a skip, I review with delight—
This codebase is tidy, and all feels right!

148-156: echo executed before fallback assignment – message can be empty

_ref_remote_default_branch is echoed before it is set in the fallback branch, so the “Not Found – defaults to:” line prints an empty value. Swap the assignment and echo to avoid a confusing log.

-    if [[ -n ${_ref_remote_default_branch:-} ]]; then 
-        echo "Found: ${_ref_remote_default_branch}"
-    else
-        local _base_branch=
-        set_base_branch _base_branch
-
-        echo "Not Found - defaults to: ${_ref_remote_default_branch}"
-            _ref_remote_default_branch=${_base_branch}
+    if [[ -n ${_ref_remote_default_branch:-} ]]; then
+        echo "INFO: Found remote default branch: ${_ref_remote_default_branch}"
+    else
+        local _base_branch=
+        set_base_branch _base_branch
+        _ref_remote_default_branch=${_base_branch}

_tests.sh (1)

65-72: Quote path & branch variables in git artifact init to handle spaces safely

Un-quoted ${local_tester_repo} and ${default_branch} will break if either contains whitespace. Cheap safety win—quote them.

-git artifact init --url="$(pwd)/$remote_tester_repo" --path $local_tester_repo -b ${default_branch:-main}
+git artifact init --url="$(pwd)/$remote_tester_repo" --path "$local_tester_repo" -b "${default_branch:-main}"

17-23: open is macOS-only – suggest a cross-platform step

open https://github.com/... works only on macOS. Consider a shell-agnostic placeholder (or simply instruct the reader to create the repo manually) so Linux/Windows users aren’t tripped up.

-# 1. Create a new repository on GitHub [Make sure to not initialize it with a README or .gitignore]
-open https://github.com/new?name=test-git-artifact
+# 1. Create a new repository on GitHub (don’t initialise it with a README or .gitignore)
+#   – open the URL in your browser of choice:
+#   https://github.com/new?name=test-git-artifact
