Change "master" branch to "main" #30

Closed btskinner closed 4 years ago

btskinner commented 4 years ago

I propose that we change the name of the default branch, which is currently master to main. I believe that GitHub is making this change, but it's unclear when it will happen and whether it will be retroactive for existing repositories (I would assume not). I have started this process with my repos and am happy to take the lead here.

Can others vote, either by commenting below or giving a thumbs up? If we decide to make the change, I'll have a few small steps for everyone to complete before I do.

Thanks, everyone.

Completed. To get the new branch and delete the local old version of master:

## inside the unrollment_proj directory on your machine
git pull
git checkout main
git branch -d master
