I have moved the default branch from master
to main
here (and elsewhere)!
When I ran usethis::git_default_branch_rename()
, I saw this output, which might require some follow-up:
✓ Default branch of the source repo 'r-lib/downlit' has moved: 'master' --> 'main'
• Be sure to update files that refer to the default branch by name.
Consider searching within your project for 'master'.
x These GitHub Action files don't mention the new default branch 'main':
- '.github/workflows/pandoc.yml'
- '.github/workflows/pkgdown.yaml'
- '.github/workflows/R-CMD-check.yaml'
- '.github/workflows/test-coverage.yaml'
x Some badges may refer to the old default branch 'master':
- 'README.md'
✓ Default branch of local repo has moved: 'master' --> 'main'
As a result, I won't close this issue, but rest assured that the default branch has been renamed.
This blog post announces the larger effort and explains how contributors can update their local environments:
Here's the TL;DR:
install.packages("usethis")
usethis::git_default_branch_rediscover()
If you wish, you can read the documentation for git_default_branch_rediscover()
.
Or do the command line equivalent (see the blog post).

Looks like the workflows were a false positive.
I looked into the false positives. It's because, when I ran git_default_branch_rename()
, I didn't necessarily pull first (because I thought that would cause more pain than happiness when walking over 200 repos). So if it wasn't a fresh clone, and I was behind master
, I could be analyzing old GHA configs, which apparently I was here.
The
master
branch of this repository will soon be renamed tomain
, as part of a coordinated change across several GitHub organizations (including, but not limited to: tidyverse, r-lib, tidymodels, and sol-eng). We anticipate this will happen by the end of September 2021.That will be preceded by a release of the usethis package, which will gain some functionality around detecting and adapting to a renamed default branch. There will also be a blog post at the time of this
master
-->main
change.The purpose of this issue is to:
