Hi! I'll start renaming the HEAD git branches to main for all dpkg.org git repos. The dpkg one I'll defer until I've released 1.20.8 and opened HEAD for 1.21.x.
The rationale is that, while I'm far removed from a direct environment where the current name could be interpreted as offensive or triggering, language defines our thought and society. It's an easy gesture to do when this can affect other people. The provenance of the current name is not great either. And the new name is shorter, more descriptive, various hosting sites are already defaulting to it, and newer git releases will default to it soonish. To update your work directories you can do something like the following once the main branch appears: ,--- git fetch origin git remote set-head origin main git remote prune origin git branch -u origin/main git branch -m main git remote -v git branch -a `--- Thanks, Guillem
