Michael Bouschen updated JDO-793:
---------------------------------
Fix Version/s: JDO 3.2
> Decide whether to rename the 'master' branch to 'main'
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: JDO-793
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-793
> Project: JDO
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: site and infrastructure
> Reporter: Tobias Bouschen
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: JDO 3.2
>
>
> There still is an ongoing discussion over the use of the word 'master' in the
> context of branches in versioning systems. The most common new name is 'main'.
> If we were to change the name of the 'master' branch, the following things
> would have to be done as well:
> * (/) Adjust the references to the 'master' branch in the '.asf.yaml' files
> * (/) Adjust the references to the 'master' branch in the GitHub workflow
> files (located in '.github/workflows/')
> * Inform INFRA to change the default branch for GitHub and GitBox
> * Release instructions on how to adjust the local workspace (uses 'main' as
> the new name as an example)
> ## Rename the branch:
> {code:java}
> git branch -m master main{code}
> ## Fetch from origin:
> {code:java}
> git fetch origin{code}
> ## Set the origin for the new branch:
> {code:java}
> git branch -u origin/main main{code}
> ## Change the symbolic reference for HEAD:
> {code:java}
> git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main{code}
