Re: [sarif] RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: [sarif] Re: SARIF repository primary branch is now 'main'
All well, no problem here, we should use releases and tags for stable refs, I suggest.

The context here is that Iâm trying to finalize the schema for our errata release. I do not want this schema to refer to our âmasterâ branch and propose that we update it to reference âmainâ. There is a clear trend industry-wide to make this change and I definitely do think we should align with that. Adityaâs suggestion is great, I was not aware that renaming in this way was required to provide the compatibility option, important information. Unfortunately, I donât have sufficient permissions to rename the default âmasterâ branch to âmainâ, perhaps Chet Ensign does. In any event, as per Stefanâs appeal, we can discuss as a group on Thursday. I will plan to finalize the errata schema optimistically referencing âmainâ: doing this wonât commit us to anything immediately, however, as we have other docs work to do there.

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: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-branches-in-your-repository/renaming-a-branch On Tue, Jul 12, 2022 at 9:46 AM David Keaton <> wrote: 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.
