The WASI subgroup is changing the default branch names in all repositories to main.

Please consider this a tracking issue. It is not intended for public debate.

  • Change branch name

Github how as an update here. They will be "investing in tools to make renaming the default branch of an existing repository a seamless experience for both maintainers and contributors", so it sounds like we should wait for now and see what they come up with.

The default branch has been renamed!
master is now named main

If you have a local clone, you can update it by running:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main

AFAICT, no CI, build scripts, or documentation changes were required in this repo.
