community-notice: cloud-init default branch rename from master to main

 

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512

Hi Cloud-init Devs,

   As cloud-init upstream, we would like to rename our primary development
branch from `master` to `main` to establish more inclusive branch naming
practices.  Github in general is starting to establish this practice as
well[1].

If there are no objections to this transition, we would like to perform
this default branch name change in two weeks.

Impact to developers:
  - Existing PRs against "master" branch will remain intact and retargeted
    to 'main' instead of master until merged or closed
  - New PRs will automatically target the default "main" branch
  - New `git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:canonical/cloud-init.git` will
automatically default to follow "main" branch instead of "master"
  - Local git clones of cloud-init repository on your system will need to
    perform the following:
       git checkout master
       git branch -m main
       git branch -u upstream/main

Thanks,
Chad
