Subject: [PATCH] fix(ci): only create local `main` branch if non-existent
 (#164)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Why this should be merged

The CI job in #145 requires a local (to the runner) `main` branch and
since `actions/checkout` doesn't check it out, the workflow creates the
branch off `origin/main`. However, after merge of a PR to `main`, the
workflow is run on `main` itself and that step [fails because the branch
already
exists](https://github.com/ava-labs/libevm/actions/runs/13908218530/job/38916101218).

## How this works

Only call `git branch main origin/main` if `main` doesn't exist.

## How this was tested

We'll see once it's merged 🤷
