That is an *exceptionally* good idea! It looks like GitHub is planning
to change âmasterâ to âmainâ across their services. At least, thatâs
what five minutes of web searching suggested.

I think thatâs a good alternative.

Please consider renaming the principal, default branch to âmainâ as a
friendly amendment to my proposal.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
