Rename branches from 'master' -> 'main'

[bs]

I've set the default for new repositories to be 'main' rather than 'master.'

This will become the default for Github in a few days.

Please take a moment to opportunistically rename 'master' on existing repos.

It's as simple as:

1. Rename the branch

❯ git branch -m master main
❯ git push -u origin main
❯ git remote set-head origin main

2. You can verify that the branches are identical via:

git diff remotes/origin/master..main

3. Set 'main' to be the default in the settings of the repo on Github:

4. And then delete the 'master' branch:

git push origin --delete master

Here's a good write-up on the process, and if you're interested in the history of how it got named 'master' in the first place, some good reading here.

I've done this on:

• project
• library
• internal

Interesting read on the history behind the name @bs!

I've made the change for the following repos where I am the main contributor, this should capture everything is 'public facing' or that isn't 'stale'.

• embedding-gym
• audio-embeddings
• from_zero_to_DSP
• dl-annotator
• spectral-hyperresolution
• sperm_whale_bioacoustics
• dolphin

I think we got all the major ones. Thank you, @radekosmulski! @pcbermant, I think we've just got yours left and then can close.
