Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the repository uses master as the default branch. Many open source projects have recently switched to using main as the default branch name to promote more inclusive and neutral terminology.
Describe the solution you'd like
I propose renaming the default branch from master to main. This would align the repository with current open source community standards and foster a more welcoming environment for all contributors.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We could continue using master, but this might unintentionally alienate some contributors or seem outdated compared to the evolving industry norms.
Additional context
This change is widely adopted in the open source world, including major platforms like GitHub encouraging it as a best practice. For example, in mid-2020, GitHub officially changed their default branch to "main", and many large projects like Node.js followed.
As GitHub’s then-CEO Nat Friedman said,
"We want to help make our community more welcoming and inclusive, and renaming the default branch is a step towards that."
Renaming the branch can be done safely, and GitHub provides documentation to guide maintainers through the process with minimal disruption.
Thank you for considering this update!
