Hi Git community,
This was suggested in Node.js core in [nodejs/node/#33864][1]
Background: Many software developers [on Twitter][2] are planning to
rename their default branch from "master" to "main" or equivalent. The
primary reason being master-slave being an oppressive metaphor.
Is the git community considering renaming the default branch from
"master" to "main" or equivalent in git?
