default_branch setting in safe-settings not working

Unable to set Develop branch as default

What is actually happening?

I tried making Develop branch as default instead of main. But the below script doesn't work and main branch remains as default branch.

repository: 
  default_branch: develop

What are the ways of making develop branch as default using safe-settings. Please suggest me.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Are you trying to rename the main branch to develop or set the an existing develop branch as the default branch instead of main?
