Renaming the default branch from master

Open m-r-m-s opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi @midilab ,

Would you be willing to rename the default branch to main from master? The master-slave terminology has references to human chattel slavery. Github has already begun rolling out this change for the default to main for new repositories.

For reference:

https://github.com/github/renaming and https://github.com/github/renaming#renaming-existing-branches

also: https://cdm.link/2020/06/lets-dump-master-slave-terms/

I realize this would also apply to the uClock code base as well i.e. examples and other references so perhaps I can do a pull request or someone else in order to help out? Using the terms main and secondary seem like good replacement terminology.

Thanks for your consideration and again for all the great work!

i read about some problems with commit history and forks related to change the main branch name, but i will take a time to carefull read about a way of doing without causing troubles.

changed, in case anyone get any errors with local repo, just delete it and clone it again.
