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

Hey all,
I really appreciate the support on this thread for moving away from `master` as the default branch.
It seems `main` is a popular choice as an alternative default and some projects are moving to adopt that.
It sounds like each PMC can take that as a suggestion, in addition to the other alternatives suggested on this thread, and figure out what they would like to standardize on within each PMC.
I'd like to recommend, as a way to move this forward, that each of the PMCs work towards guidance on defaults within their PMCs and each PMC work towards achieving those changes.
Thanks all,
-Dieu

Hi all,
I created an issue for routing-release for my team to do this work.
Please feel free to use this as a template to make stories for your own teams/repos/components.
Best,
Amelia

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.
