Description
This is not so important but it would help to be more conform with the convention and would lower a tiny bit the bar for contributors to this repository.
- All new GitHub repositories use
main
as the default branch git init
gives a hint to change the default branch tomain
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call: hint: hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name> hint: hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command: hint: hint: git branch -m <name>
- I am used to type
mai
and hit TAB to let my shell complete tomain
main
could give the contributors the impression that the repository is more up-to-date
Here you can go to the branches of the repository (I didn't find it myself):

After you changed the default branch name to main
GitHub will help you with suitable command hints to reflect the change locally as well.
