Switch default branch to main?

[dkowis]

The default in modern git projects is main and it'd be nice to have that consistency.

git branch -m master main
git push -u origin main

We understand and respect the sentiments. Let me check with the team and get back.

I have checked internally. The recommendation is to use primary instead of master

If that is fine, I will proceed to make that change.

[peterjhill]

I am fine with primary

[dkowis]

I guess that's fine. main is a lot more common in opensource projects, and in general, however.

And it'd be nice to have that for muscle memory, that's my only objection.
