Git Master Branch Renaming [Revised with Upated Instructions for Developers]


On June 1 “master” branches in the public Evergreen repositories will be renamed to “main.” The June 1 date avoids disruption with the Bug Squashing week (May 8 through May 12) and the Evergreen 3.11 Release scheduled for May 25.

Once the change has been made, you can update your local repositories by running the following commands:

    git fetch --all
    git remote set-head origin -a
    git branch -m master main

If you have any questions or concerns, you may email Jason Stephenson or contact the user Dyrcona on irc.libera.chat.
