Thanks for the update! Although possibly a minor inconvenience to some, I am certainly of the belief that our choice in language has a subtle, yet powerful effect on our perception of the world around us, so although some may see it as needless, I think small changes such as "master" to "main" are necessary; assuming we want to evolve beyond archaic standards and become more inclusive over time.

Hi,

The "master" branch of the following Python GitHub repositories have been renamed to "main":

• devguide
• peps
• voters

For the rationale of the rename, see: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2020/jun/23/gitbranchname/

If you already have a Git checkout of one of these repositories, you can rename your local master branch with these commands (where "orign" is the github.com/python/... remote):

---

git branch -m master main git fetch origin git branch -u origin/main main git remote set-head origin -a

---

Tell me if you have any issue with the branch rename.

Thanks Brett, Ee, Mariatta and the Steering Council who helped to rename these branches ;-)
