+## Default branch
+
+The default development branch is `main`. If you still have a local
+checkout under the old name, use:
+```sh
+git checkout master
+git branch -m master main
+git fetch
+git branch --unset-upstream
+git branch -u origin/main
+git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main
+```
