it's an incredibly trivial change to switch things over from master to main. do a find-replace, you're probably done in 5 minutes.

the only real waste of energy here is dealing with people who dig in their feet about it.

@letsbekind2 @JessTheUnstill It is a mess. In my professional life it is a continuous PITA to double check the branch name containing ground truth.

@markuswerle
Ironically my usually change resistant brain has apparently adapted to GitHub's changed default and now gets confused by vanilla git's 'master.' I wonder if there's a way of setting something in .git/config to indicate what's in use? I think I've also seen ways to create symlink-like aliases with refs

git config --global init.defaultBranch $NAME

I prefer to set it to dev to piss off everyone, including people who use devel.
