I did:

git fetch upstream

git checkout main

git branch -D master

(upstream is my remote for git@github.com:yt-project/yt, so you'll need to change it to whatever you call your remote)

Good question!  All pull requests have been automatically updated.  I think it's as simple as checking out your old master branch, pulling main, and then checking out main.

Good deal. So how do we handle this in downstream forks?

Yeah, let's do it!  Let's inaugurate a new era of branch names.  Today good for everyone?

Hi,

Just following up on this. I'm also in favor. As Matt mentioned originally, github is making this quite easy and with very minimal disruption. Shall we go ahead and do it?

Hi Cameron,

It's just the name -- instead of it being called "master" it will be
called "main."  (In hg, the default branch was usually called
"default.")  Newly created repositories at github utilize "main."
