Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GitRepos-master-to-main#Phase0_-_2021-01-05 here's a short guide for any interested folks on how to change the default branch in pagure.io projects:
Switching default branch from ‘master’ to ‘main’ on pagure.io If you have an existing project using ‘master’ as it’s default branch: git clone ssh://g...@pagure.io/YOURPROJECT.git (This checks out your repo with it’s current ‘master’ branch) git checkout -b main (This creates a local ‘main’ branch) git push (This pushes the new ‘main’ branch to pagure.io) Go to your project, Settings, “Default Branch”, set to ‘main’, click “Make Default” (This switches the ‘default’ branch you get if you do not specify one) git push origin :master (This deletes the old ‘master’ branch) If you have are just creating a new project: When creating the project specify ‘main’ as the default branch. (This will be changed soon to default that way) Q&A: Q: What happens to pull-requests that are against the old ‘main’ branch? A: They will show an error, you will need to get the submitter to open a new pull-request against the new branch name (we will be fixing pagure so it allows updating the target branch of a PR in the (near) future) Q: I want to call the default branch something else, do I have to use ‘main’? A: main is becoming a industry wide name, so people are going to expect it. That said, it's your project and you can name it anything you like. Q: What happens to Documentation/Issues/Pull Requests repos associated to the projects? A: We are not changing anything on theses repos for now, we will update you when we change the default branch on these repos. Q: What happens to users who have a checkout of the old default branch? A: If they do a 'git pull' they will get: * [new branch] main -> origin/main Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master' from the remote, but no such ref was fetched. They need to do 'git checkout main' and pull will work fine again. As a reminder, on 2021-01-06 (tomorrow), we will be changing the following pagure.io repos to use 'main' as default branch: pagure.io: releng releng/* fedora-comps fedora-kickstarts fedora-infrastructure fedora-lorax-templates fedora-mediawikitheme fedora-packager fedora-infra/* infra-docs koji-fedmsg-plugin workstation-ostree-config pungi-fedora fedora-docs/* fedora-docs-i18n/* See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/GitRepos-master-to-main for more information. kevin
