Now that GitHub supports renaming existing branches, we're planning on renaming the main development branch on GitHub from
master
tomain
. This follows a general trend in projects moving away from usingmaster
as the default branch because the term is considered hurtful to some people.With GitHub's improved support, existing Pull Requests will not require any modifications. The only action required by users who use or contribute code on MetPy's development branch is that:
main
rather thanmaster
so that e.g.git pull
will continue to get the latest changes. GitHub's documentation indicates thatgit
requests to the renamed branch should trigger a message.main
; it is likely that this should work by default and not require any manual intervention.This rename is planned to take place some time on 16 February 2021.
