Re: Proposal to Rename the Primary Branch on all Cloud Foundry repos


Jesse Alford <jalford@...>
 

Changing branches breaks a lot of tooling, docs, and expectations.

If you're going to do it - which to be clear I think we should in this case -
it is better to move to what you'd prefer,
rather than make multiple such breaks.

I agree that `main` is a fine default and matches what Github will be migrating to.
If "default branch, plus whatever expectations you might bring with you about such a branch"
is what you want to communicate with your branch name, switch to `main`.

If "the place that active development should be pushed/merged to" and,
optionally,
"the place that deliberately released code should be pulled from"
is what you want to communicate, maybe use that pattern.

If you want to say something else with your branch names,
this is an opportunity to communicate.

Anyway. I support changes away from `master`,
but think we don't need to coordinate further on the matter.

Hey all,
I would like to propose that the cloud foundry projects rename the primary branch on all https://github.com/cloudfoundry and https://github.com/cloudfoundry-incubator repos to “main” as part of Cloud Foundry’s commitment to an inclusive and welcoming community.
I believe some project teams independently have plans to invest in making this change.
Thoughts? Feedback?
-Dieu
