FYI Renaming default branch from "master" to "main"
Hello together, I just want to inform you that in the next days we will rename the branch "master" into "main" and make that the new default branch on Microsoft GitHub. There is no need for a warning or countdown. ;) I tested it with my own fork and found out it is much easier then I thought. When you have your own fork from bit-team/backintime on GitHub they keep connected no matter how the default branches are named. If possible and if it doesn't interrupt any task you currently work on it must be the easiest to delete your fork and fork again. But I assume there will be no problem if you keep your fork. It is up to you. If you cloned from the upstream repo bit-team/backintime into your own machine and you want to keep that clone you should do a bit git magic like this: git branch -m master main git fetch origin git branch -u origin/main main git remote set-head origin -a That is how GitHub itself "told" me. It renames your local branch and "reconnect" it to the remote branch. I don't understand the 4th command. ;) Greetings Christian
