I’m not intending to weigh in on the naming debate here, but I do think we need consistency. For details about the name change and how to manage it, see https://github.com/github/renaming What I’d propose is that we pick a name that the community is most comfortable with. Below are the tasks to address after a decision is made. Options: * Keep Master: * Update the organization settings for the “Repository default branch” name * Change any newly created repos to use “master” as the default branch * Use Main: * Update all existing repos to use “main” as the default repo * Update our individual forks as needed * Use some other name: * Update the organization settings for the “Repository default branch” name * Update all existing repos to use “main” as the default repo * Update our individual forks as needed Thanks Justin _______________________________________________________ fluid-work mailing list - fluid-work@lists.idrc.ocad.ca<mailto:fluid-work@lists.idrc.ocad.ca> To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see https://lists.idrc.ocad.ca/mailman/listinfo/fluid-work
