Show HN: git-rename-master-branch-to-main

Not eating his own dog food.

Fixed thank you!

What I've seen personally is the rename started with the terminology of "master/slave" such as for database replication. This is happening now and at speed because of Black Live Matter and related progressive movements.

My clients are changing terminology from "master/slave" to "main/replica", and from there it's an easy step to changing terminology from "master" to "main" everywhere else including git.

My clients are doing related kinds of word changes, such as changing security terminology from colors "white/black" to functions "select/reject", and "whitelist/blacklist" to "allow/deny", and "white-hat/black-hat" to "ethical/criminal", etc.

Nothing specific I don't think. All that has changed is the labeling of the most recent commit on the branch. Just keep doing your workflow as normal substituting "master" for "main" whenever you need to. e.g. for merges, rebases, and pull requests.
