Open discussion: rename the default branch ? #160

In a way a "bit late to the party", but should the default branch be renamed away from master ?

And if so, what would be the preferred new name ?

Some options:

  • A lot of repos have gone with main. For a "one branch" repo, that would be an obvious choice.
  • As an alternative, but that would also involve a different branching strategy, it could be considered to have a stable branch as a release branch and have a develop branch as the default PR branch. For a new release develop would then be merged into stable.

Opinions ?
