Description

There have been calls in the Git OSS community to replace "master" with a more inclusive alternative as the primary branch name. [Core upstream committers have generally formed a consensus](https://lore.kernel.org/git/20200615205722.GG71506@syl.local/) that the branch name for new repositories should be configurable, and that the default for this name should at some point be changed away from "master", most likely to "main".
