Sharing in case this helps before we discuss in person: GitHub now allows you to rename the existing `master` branch to `main`, rather than making a copy named `main`. If you do this, it will update most references, PRs, and links automatically, though local clones will still need to be updated manually.
Here are the GitHub docs on the topic:Âhttps://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/renaming-a-branch

   I will add this discussion to the agenda.
   Since the industry in general is moving from master to main, it is
a good idea to align with current practice, though there may be various
ideas about how to migrate.
