audit-check default branch renamed from master to main

[ZacJW]

I've been getting GitHub Actions errors on my fork of tokio to do with audit-check

Unable to resolve action rustsec/audit-check@master, unable to find version master

Looks like tokio's been getting it too

I don't see this action on the Marketplace when I search for audit-check. Has it somehow been removed? I noticed the default branch for this repo is called main, not master. Was that changed around the 24th of September? That's when I started seeing the error.

That sounds like the date when I published v2.0.0 (#25). I didn't personally rename or delete any branches however, just tagged a v2.0.0 release.

The development branch is indeed now named main as opposed to master. I'm not sure when that happened: this is a repo I inherited which is itself a fork of another repo, and I barely know what I'm doing with GitHub Actions.

I'm not sure what to do as a resolution here besides tell you to rename the branch in your config. We can mirror main as master for all eternity I guess. Renaming main back to master would break people who are using main in their configs.

Looks like you did the rename on the 23rd

I think that rename is what broke tokio's security audit workflow. Personally I would weigh breaking 2 weeks of new users of audit-check against breaking years of existing users and find that changing the branch name back would be better than leaving as main. Though to be honest maybe this is just what we all get for using a branch rather than a tag like we should. I've renamed this issue to be about the rename since I think it's clear to me now that that's what caused the breakage.

I'm not sure how that happened. I don't remember doing it. I don't remember seeing any of the dialogs that the branch had been renamed. Perhaps npm did it? I don't know.

I renamed it back (which took a bit of doing, as I had to search around the UI for where to even do it, which again makes me wonder how it was renamed in the first place)

we've been using main for forever and just got broken by this rename to master... just a data point that the rename didn't just break 2 weeks of new users:

Ugh, I guess I can have the two mirror each other
