Default Branch: main or master?

  • More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/030.html#idx07
  • The current GitHub DEFAULT Branch is "main."
    • In the past, the default branch was "master."
    • To be "politically correct," GitHub has changed the default branch name from ”master” to ”main.”
    • Many past examples here have been using the "master" branch name.
    • Therefore -- to be consistent -- the "master" branch name will continue to be used.
    • Feel free to use either “main” or “master.” However, it would help if you did not alter your branch name once it has been chosen.
    • To change the default branch name, click "settings."
