On 2020-06-22, we renamed the `master` branch to `main`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This should mean very little, but if you have existing clones,
|
|
|
|
|
you'll need to update the branch references, like so:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. **Fetch the latest branches from the remote:**
|
|
|
|
|
`$ git fetch --all`
|
|
|
|
|
2. **Update the upstream remote's HEAD**
|
|
|
|
|
`$ git remote set-head origin -a`
|
|
|
|
|
3. **Switch your local branch to track the new remote**
|
|
|
|
|
`$ git branch --set-upstream-to origin/main`
|
|
|
|
|
4. **Rename your branch locally**
|
|
|
|
|
`$ git branch -m master main`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The `master` branch was fully deleted on 2020-07-28.
|
|
|
|
|
If you get an error on pull on an old clone, that's why. The commands above should still work, though.
