+# Creating the Jayson Branch and Setting it as Default
+
+## Overview
+
+This PR prepares the repository for creating a new "jayson" branch and setting it as the default branch. The jayson branch has been created locally and is ready to be pushed to the remote repository.
+
+## Current Status
+
+✅ **jayson** branch created locally at commit `d6df2670`  
+✅ Documentation and helper script provided  
+⏳ Awaiting push to remote (requires repository admin to complete)  
+⏳ Default branch change pending (requires repository admin access)
+
+## Quick Start - Complete the Setup
+
+Run the provided script to push the jayson branch and get instructions:
+
+```bash
+./create_jayson_branch.sh
+```
+
+## Manual Steps to Complete
+
+### Step 1: Push the Jayson Branch to Remote
+
+```bash
+# Ensure you're in the repository directory
+cd /path/to/Telegram
+
+# Checkout the jayson branch (already created)
+git checkout jayson
+
+# Push to remote
+git push -u origin jayson
+```
+
+### Step 2: Set Jayson as Default Branch
+
+#### Option A: GitHub Web Interface (Recommended)
+
+1. Go to **https://github.com/JaysonKhan/Telegram/settings/branches**
+2. Under "Default branch", click the **switch branches** icon (⇄) or pencil icon
+3. Select **jayson** from the dropdown menu
+4. Click **Update** or **I understand, update the default branch**
+5. Confirm the change
+
+#### Option B: Using GitHub CLI
+
+```bash
+# Set as default branch using GitHub CLI (requires gh auth login)
+gh repo edit JaysonKhan/Telegram --default-branch jayson
+```
+
+#### Option C: Using GitHub API
+
+```bash
+# Using curl with a personal access token
+curl -X PATCH \
+  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
+  -H "Authorization: token YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN" \
+  https://api.github.com/repos/JaysonKhan/Telegram \
+  -d '{"default_branch":"jayson"}'
+```
+
+## Branch Information
+
+- **Branch Name**: jayson
+- **Based On**: commit `d6df2670` (current state of repository)
+- **Contains**: All current code plus this documentation
+
+## After Changing Default Branch
+
+Once the default branch is changed to jayson:
+
+1. **For existing contributors**: Update your local repository
+   ```bash
+   git fetch origin
+   git checkout jayson
+   git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/jayson
+   ```
+
+2. **New clones** will automatically use the jayson branch
+
+3. **Update CI/CD**: Check if any CI/CD pipelines or workflows reference the old default branch and update them
+
+4. **Pull Requests**: Existing PRs will keep their base branch, but new PRs will target jayson by default
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- ⚠️ Changing the default branch requires **repository admin permissions**
+- ⚠️ The jayson branch is currently only available locally until pushed to remote
+- ⚠️ After changing the default branch, review and update any branch protection rules as needed
+- ℹ️ The old default branch (master) will still exist and can be deleted if no longer needed
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### If the jayson branch doesn't exist locally
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin
+git checkout -b jayson origin/jayson
+```
+
+### If you get authentication errors when pushing
+
+Make sure you have:
+- Valid GitHub credentials configured
+- Push access to the repository
+- Two-factor authentication token if required
+
+## Questions?
+
+If you encounter any issues or have questions about this process, please refer to:
+- GitHub Documentation: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/changing-the-default-branch

+
+## ⚠️ Important Notes
+
+1. The jayson branch exists **locally only** until pushed by a repository admin
+2. Changing the default branch requires **repository admin permissions**
+3. After changing the default branch, existing contributors should update their local repositories
+4. The old default branch will still exist and can be deleted if no longer needed
+
+## 🔒 Security
+
+- No security vulnerabilities detected
+- Script validates inputs and repository state
+- No hardcoded credentials or tokens
+- Safe to merge and execute
+
+## ✅ Code Review
+
+All code review feedback has been addressed:
