This is a Feature Request

What would you like to be added
Rename the master branch to main

Why is this needed
Our live website builds from the master branch
I suggest serving the website from a (new) branch called main instead.

This change avoids using a term linked with controversy (especially in the United States of America).

/kind cleanup
