On 2020-06-22, we renamed the master branch to main.

This should mean very little, but if you have existing clones, you'll need to update the branch references, like so:

  1. Fetch the latest branches from the remote:
    $ git fetch --all
  2. Update the upstream remote's HEAD
    $ git remote set-head origin -a
  3. Switch your local branch to track the new remote
    $ git branch --set-upstream-to origin/main
  4. Rename your branch locally
    $ git branch -m master main

(steps from https://dev.to/rhymu8354/git-renaming-the-master-branch-137b)

The master branch was fully deleted on 2020-07-28. If you get an error on pull on an old clone, that's why. The commands above should still work, though.
