Change default git branch from master to main
I read about GitHub renaming the default branch to something less offending to a lot of people. Sounds
like a no-brainer, som I decided to switch. My approach will be to simply create a new branch called
main and mark it as default in GitLab. I won't go through all my repositoies at once, but
instead make the switch when I'm actively working on something.
My understanding is that the concept of a default branch is not a Git thing, but rather a Git Repository Thing. So this should be enough to make the switch:
git checkout -b maingit push --set-upstream origin main- gitlab.com → Repository settings → Default Branch
- gitlab.com → Repository settings → Protected Branches
