Rename master to main
@htriem Do you think it would make sense to add a slide or a note that acknowledges the change?
This change will only take effect in the self hosted instances from 22 June 2021 onwards, so there's a due date in this one now :)
Recommend linking https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2021/03/10/new-git-default-branch-name/ as SSoT. Change affects both, self-hosted, and newly created projects on GitLab.com.
So far, I see the issue with the git version we use on our machines. The current git version on the CentOS we are using still goes with master as a default (and we create the first branch locally on our machines).
What we could do is, that we include git config --global init.defaultBranch main into our provisioning?
I think adding the global defaultBranch is a good idea. Plus, we should maybe mention that historically it was master and many vendors are in the progress of moving to main
@martialblog - Been a bit out of the loop on this one, did we change the provisioning yet? Else I'll give it a shot now :)
@theFeu I don't know what version the NWS GitLab instances currently have. Nonetheless we should add your suggestion git config --global init.defaultBranch main
The GitLab instances already are at a version that prefers main, it's only our terminal machines that don't have it yet. And since we push the local master to the remote, we also have a master in the GitLab - should be fixed in the provisioning. I'll look into it!
