Describe the issue

This is a long-term tracking issue for renaming the default branch on repositories from master to main. Consider this community tracking for the discussion in https://github.com/github/renaming.

As of today (9/24):

cc: @kubernetes/owners @kubernetes/wg-naming
/area github-admin
/sig contributor-experience
/wg naming

EDIT(@spiffxp 2021-06-30): Here's an attempt at surveying the state of things today. There are currently 17/243 repos (~7%) that have had their branches renamed.

We need to regroup on the easiest way to track and delegate this. Manually updating a GitHub issue description isn't it, but I thought it would help to see the info here.

@justaugustus – Do you think this merits a communication to k/dev?

@nikhita's initial note to k-dev should suffice at this stage: https://groups.google.com/g/kubernetes-dev/c/jvRPIscaDek/m/1KWEUYXDBQAJ.

The only impact I can think of for new repos would be that the git.k8s.io redirector (http://git.k8s.io/$repo/$path going to https://github.com/kubernetes/$repo/tree/master/$path, e.g. http://git.k8s.io/community/sig-apps) would not work properly.

Starting on October 1, 2020: newly-created repositories will default to main: https://github.com/github/renaming#on-october-1-2020-newly-created-repositories-will-default-to-main

Just to ensure we are on the same page - when we create a new repo in a Kubernetes org after Oct 1, we will set the default branch to master for now, correct? IIUC we'll move all our repos to the main default branch once GitHub solves the issues listed here - https://github.com/github/renaming#later-this-year-seamless-move-for-existing-repositories-

xref kubernetes/website#21749 - k/website issue about changing their default branch to live

The only impact I can think of for new repos would be that the git.k8s.io redirector (http://git.k8s.io/$repo/$path going to https://github.com/kubernetes/$repo/tree/master/$path, e.g. http://git.k8s.io/community/sig-apps) would not work properly.

I think this has been handled by their default redirect: https://github.blog/changelog/2020-07-17-links-to-deleted-branches-now-redirect-to-the-default-branch/

It does mean things would be redirected twice, but that's probably the best scenario for the interim till everything has been switched over.

I'm not sure... that seems to only apply to deleted branches. A new repo that only had a main branch would not have a deleted master branch that would trigger that, right?

I think we should flip the default branch for all repos at once. We'll also need to update our automation (prow, etc). For git.k8s.io specifically, we'll need to update:

You're right. GitHub has confirmed it as well 👍

As just about all our repos are generated off the kubernetes-template-project, they will have a default branch name of master unless we change it there.

I think we should flip the default branch for all repos at once. We'll also need to update our automation (prow, etc). For git.k8s.io specifically, we'll need to update:

Before flipping I do think we should test. It will mean the redirector won't work for the ones we do decide to test, but I think thats an acceptable trade-off for now.

Pulling down from the description edit I just made:

FYI: we finally wrapped kubernetes/k8s.io#1597 for kubernetes/k8s.io. There were lots of links to the old branch name littered throughout project repos

This should probably have a different milestone, if any.

This issue seems out of sync / out of date with work tracked elsewhere.
For anyone else interested, see e.g. https://k8s.dev/rename in particular / kubernetes/community#5636
