Default "master" branch should be renamed to "main"

[nysander]

I see here two problems

1. nowadays most of repositories use main as default git branch and gitflow still provides master as default, is there possibility to change the default value?
2. there is no option to set master develop branches from command line

Is there any chance for such improvements?

I have no issues with updating the default branch name used. Though I think it would be better to default to the value of init.defaultBranch instead of defaulting to main.

2. there is no option to set master develop branches from command line

What do you mean by master develop branches? When starting a new feature you can specify a different branch other then develop to base the feature on. Also base branches can be updated via git flow config

[nysander]

usage: git flow init [-h] [-d] [-f] [-g] does not have option to give "defaultBranch" and "develop" branch names from command line arguments

in certain conditions where no branch is created during git init, git flow init suggests [master] as default branch

[nysander]

using git flow config might be an option but I looked for solution to run init from another command line tool and use predefined values for all kind of branches

Please, no.

Some of us prefer using the original naming conventions

With the next release of git-flow when running the init command master will no longer be suggested as the default branch name. Instead the suggested name will be pulled from init.defaultBranch. I will also be adding support for changing the default production and development branch names via command options passed to 'init'
