In a way a "bit late to the party", but should the default branch be renamed away from master ?
And if so, what would be the preferred new name ?
Some options:
- A lot of repos have gone with
main. For a "one branch" repo, that would be an obvious choice.
- As an alternative, but that would also involve a different branching strategy, it could be considered to have a
stable branch as a release branch and have a develop branch as the default PR branch. For a new release develop would then be merged into stable.
Opinions ?
