As per title, how about we rename the main branch?

Here's what we would need to do:

  1. Checkout the HEAD of master (git checkout master and git pull)
  2. Create the main branch (git checkout -b main)
  3. Push the new branch (git push -u origin main)
  4. Go to the repository's settings and, under "Default branch", choose main

I'm glad you asked.

The term main is more inclusive. It's the default on GitHub (cp. this article).
