Replicant

The name main indeed reflects more closely what the branch is used for.

I've already started using main for new repositories, but we also have more than a hundred repositories, so it's not trivial to do the migration for existing repositories.

Migrating a given repository is easy enough, we could rename master to main and make a link from master to main (to keep compatibility with potential existing users).

Once the code from master is pushed to main we could delete the master branch and run the following commands:

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/main # Change the main branch
git symbolic-ref refs/heads/master refs/heads/main

The main issue here is rather to find which repositories to migrate.

As I understand it only makes sense to migrate the repositories we created and not the mirrors nor the forked repositories:

• Mirrors are simply mirrors of the upstream code so it doesn't make sense to change their content (apart from choosing at revisions they should be mirrored)
• If we rename upstream branches names in the forked repositories, it would be confusing.

So we need to make a list of repositories that are not forks:

• Everything in https://git.replicant.us/infrastructure should be migrated
• For https://git.replicant.us/replicant-next that depends on the repositories
• For https://git.replicant.us/contrib I can only touch my repositories and here too we need to look at what is a fork and what isn't
• Same for https://git.replicant.us/replicant : we need to look what is not a fork. Libsamsung-ipc and libsamsung-ril aren't forks but there might be more.

In /replicant we have at least the following repositories that are not forks:

• hardware_replicant_libsamsung-ipc
• hardware_replicant_libsamsung-ril
• packages_apps_replicantwallpapers
• vendor_replicant_artwork.git
• vendor_replicant-data.git
• vendor_replicant-release-scripts.git
• vendor_replicant-scripts.git

The following are not forks but also don't have any master branche:

• bootable_bootloader_goldelico_gta04
• bootable_bootloader_goldelico_gta04_x-loader
• device_goldelico_gta04.git
• device_goldelico_gta04_u-boot.git
• kernel_goldelico_gta04.git
