Switch from master to main as primary branch

[Nicholas C. Zakas]

• GitHub: Merge any outstanding pull requests
• Local: Ensure you're up-to-date locally git fetch && git reset --hard origin/master
• Local: Push a main branch: git checkout -b main && git push origin main
• GitHub: Under Settings -> Branches: Set the default branch to main
• GitHub: Under Settings -> Branches: Set up branch protection for the main branch
• GitHub: Under Settings -> Branches: Remove branch protection for master
• Local: Delete remote master branch git push origin :master
• Local: Delete master branch git branch -d master

seems some repos are still using master. e.g. eslint/eslint, eslint/website

[Nicholas C. Zakas]

Yes, we are slowly working our way through. Both of those repos have a lot of functionality that needs to be reviewed and changed, so we are starting with the easy repos first.

so should keep it opened - to make sure we don't lost track of this?
