Re: [Zephyr-devel] Changing default branch name on GitHub - possible action required

Jack,

We are utilizing what GitHub provides and as far as I can tell once we make the change to the default branch from ‘master’ to ‘main’ the ‘master’ branch will no longer exist in the repository.

So downstream users will need to adjust after the change is made.

If you have some means to handle such a synchronization its something that we can discuss.

Hi,

Will there be a period of time that we have two main branches ("master" and "main") that are auto-synced to give time for people to adjust their tools?

Thanks,

Jack

There is no action required for any open PRs, however you’ll need to update your local git clone as follows:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main

Will announce here when this change is made on Friday.

thanks
