We should keep up with the times here. However, need to consider how this will affect contributors.

Go for it. It could break certain use patterns, but no way around it (...I take that back, but better to rip the band-aid, IMO)

NOTICE TO DEVELOPERS:

In line with this issue, we are changing the default branch name from master to main. This will affect your forks of the dataretrieval-python repository. Please read below for instructions on updating your forks and local branches. @pkdash @thodson-usgs @kjdoore @jlarsen-usgs @rckwzrd @lstanish-usgs @ldecicco-USGS @mnfienen @edsaac @davetapley @elbeejay @douglasdennis @cjbas22 @jzemmels @jsta @jbousquin @elmerehbi @sblack-usu

Changing default branches on forks and local clones

First, update your local git configuration so that new repositories created locally will have the correct default branch: git config --global init.defaultBranch main.

Now, for any forks, do the following:

Go to -> Settings -> Branches and edit the default branch from master to main. Update the settings for your local clone of this fork to match this change.

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
