Change to `main` primary branch #239

Closed eputnam closed 4 years ago

eputnam commented 4 years ago

Use Case

When writing software, I want to do everything I can to be inclusive and not invoke slavery.

Describe the Solution You Would Like

Get rid of master branch in favor of main

Apparently there's a github cli and we can use that or do it the old fashioned way. Either way, we should find a way to help users make the change too.

Describe Alternatives You've Considered

trunk, primary, putnam, ericsCoolBranch, q, branchOfPower

Apparently that's the solution github is converging to, too: https://twitter.com/billygriffin22/status/1271261076290539520 .

I'm happy to run this as an experiment on this repo first to see what other technical changes will be required to make this smooth. (e.g. appveyor/travis scheduled runs; release process/docs; etc)

[Update add some social commentary]

I especially like how the motherboard overage of the announcement leads with

It's a welcome but overdue move from the Microsoft-owned company, which still has contracts with ICE.

Which IIRC is the journalistic outfit that was also playing it fast and loose with ethics around reporting about non-US citizens.

We left master but changed the default branch to main, which we created from a76dd4c30a7a4a29bd26ba29d7204912eebe8b81. We can leave this issue open in case there's any further discussion that needs to take place.

DavidS commented 4 years ago

@eputnam did you also update the scheduled job on travis or did that follow the default branch automatically?

scotje commented 4 years ago

I updated it in Travis.

Going to close this issue now as these changes have been made and nothing seems to have exploded. Please feel free to re-open or open a new issue if something comes up.
