Rename default branch to "main"
We should rename the default branch name from master
to main
, which is fairly common practice nowadays (e.g. main
is default for repositories created on github).
This should not be any issue. Any person working off of master can push/pull to/from the newly renamed branch if they wish by simply changing their upstream remote locally. Also, any person working off of (and relying upon) master
should be aware that the rug can be pulled out from underneath them at any point.
