Move default branch from "master" -> "main"

See original GitHub issue

@jrbourbeau and I are in the process of moving the default branch for this repo from master to main.

Changed in GitHub
Merged PR to change branch name in code. #245

What you’ll see

Once the name on github is changed (the first box above is Xed, or this issue closed), when you try to git pull you’ll get

Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.

What you need to do

First: head to your fork and rename the default branch there Then:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main

It might be worth opening issues as permissions in RtD are a little more ad-hoc than GitHub. There are no orgs so folks have to be added to each project manually.

Perhaps @jrbourbeau or @mrocklin have been added to enough projects to be able to go through and fix everything? But I do not.
