Update use of 'master' to less offensive 'main' #106

Closed billyhunt closed 3 years ago

billyhunt commented 3 years ago

I propose we change our default branch 'master', which has connotations with slavery, to the term 'main'. I updated references to 'master' in the READMEs for both frontend and backend. The one place I did not change is was in the serverless.yml file, which has "MasterUsername" and "MasterUserPassword" because I did not know the downstream effects of such a change.

Is there anyone else who should be reviewing this PR?

To finish this, we would need to

  1. Create a branch named "main" off of the master branch
  2. Change the default branch to "main" in github.
  3. Tell all the developers that "main" is now the source of truth.
  4. Delete the branch named "master"

I created the main branch but I don't have the access to make it the default branch. @jkropko can you make me a maintainer on this repo?
