PR Details
New repositories use
main
as default branch name.Description
I ran into issues going through the SDP learning lab because I assumed it was safe to keep my branch defined as
master
. Once I inspected my repository I noticed that GitHub now usesmain
as the default branch name for new repositories.More info can be found here:
https://github.com/github/renaming
How Has This Been Tested
I did not test this change, but can confirm that new repositories use
main
by default and this may stump new users who are following the SDP learning lab.Types of Changes
