If you have cloned or forked a DSpace GitHub codebase in the past, you will need to update this clone/fork to use the new "main" branch. In the near future, the (old) "master" branch will be permanently deleted.
a. I've created a Gist which provides detailed instructions on how to update your local clone or fork: https://gist.github.com/tdonohue/f8596462ca717131036826e2b8ac003b
As of now, no new Pull Requests will be allowed against the "master" branch. Please create any future PRs against "main" as necessary.
a. Existing PRs which use "master" as the base branch will be moved over to the "main" branch or closed. As of now, any PRs created/updated this year have already been moved from "master" to "main". Any older PRs are not yet moved, but you are welcome to move them yourselfs -- simply Edit the PR and change the "base" branch from "master" to "main".
If you have any questions or run into any problems let us know on this mailing list!

We should probably change our master branch to match and update our documentation in this wiki, and vtlibans.

DSpace DSpace Developers,

We did so based on the publicly available instructions at https://www.hanselman.com/blog/EasilyRenameYourGitDefaultBranchFromMasterToMain.aspx
How does this affect you?
