Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] breaking changes: switch default initial branch name to "main"

From: Phillip Wood <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 16:28:59 +0100

From: Phillip Wood <[email-masked]>

This series switches the default branch name from "master" to "main"
when WITH_BREAKING_CHANGES is enabled. We have been warning that the
default name will change since 675704c74dd (init: provide useful advice
about init.defaultBranch, 2020-12-11) and the major git forges have all
switched their default branch name to "main", so I think it makes sense
to change the default branch name in git to match the wider ecosystem.

The first patch switches the default initial branch name to "main"
and the other three patches remove the last remaining instances of
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_BRANCH_NAME=master from the test suite. Patch 2 is
quite large but is mechanically generated so it should be possible
to review it by checking that the changes can be reproduced. As this
series changes the default branch name it focuses on updating tests
that rely on the default branch name being "master", there are still
a number of tests that create a branch called "master".

Changes since V2:
Patch 1: reworded documentation
Patch 3: fixed typo in commit message
Patch 4: added helper function to initialise repository

I'm still on the fence about the suggestion to add some advice on how
to rename the branch after it is created in order to help users who
are following tutorials using "master" rather than "main". One the
one hand I can see that would be helpful, on the other it is pretty
annoying to everyone else. If it turns out that we want to add it we
can always do so at a later date.

V2 Cover letter:

Thanks to everyone who commented on V1, I have dropped the removal of
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_BRANCH_NAME and the test changes related to that but
have kept the patches that remove GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_BRANCH_NAME=master.
The patches have been re-ordered so that the change to the default
initial branch name comes first. That patch now includes a test
for the default initial branch name and includes the changes to the
commit message and documentation suggested by Patrick and Junio. The
commit messages for the other patches have been reworded now that
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_BRANCH_NAME is not being removed but the code changes
are the same.

This is an alternative to changing the branch name now as suggested in
https://lore.kernel.org/git/[email-masked]

    -    main" in our test suite. We have slowly been removing these ever since

         t0613: stop setting default initial branch
     
    -    As the tests are all run in separate repositories, set the branch name
    -    to "master" when creating the repository for the tests where the result
    -    depends on the branch name. This reduceds the number of tests that
    -    depend on the default branch name being "master" and removes the last
    -    instance of a test file using "GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=
    -    master".
    +    As the tests are all run in separate repositories, set the branch
    +    name to "master" when creating the repository for the tests where
    +    the result depends on the branch name. In order to make it easier to
    +    change the branch name in the future a helper function is used. This
    +    reduces the number of tests that depend on the default branch name
    +    being "master" and removes the last instance of a test file using
    +    "GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master".
