Consider changing Github branch to main #223

Consider changing Github branch to main to be consistent with new git changes

On October 1, 2020: newly-created repositories will default to main On October 1, 2020, any new repositories you create will use main as the default branch, instead of master. This change does not impact any of your existing repositories: existing repositories will continue to have the same default branch they have now.

For users, on the https://github.com/settings/repositories page For organization owners, on the https://github.com/organizations/YOUR-ORGANIZATION/settings/repository-defaults page For enterprise administrators, on the https://github.com/enterprises/YOUR-ENTERPRISE/settings/member_privileges page Why main? main is the most popular replacement for master that we’re seeing across GitHub. We like it because it’s short, it keeps your muscle memory intact, and it translates well across most languages. We’re using main for our newly-created repositories and for the repositories we’re moving now, like dependabot-core.
