Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We are still using the old master/slave way of naming our branches.

Describe the solution you'd like
We should consider renaming to main to make it universally comfortable for everyone.

How does this affect forked repositories ?

We will have to rename locally our branches, and change the default branch. And changing the upstream. There are a lot of tutorials for this.
For example: https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/faq/git-rename-master-to-main/
