> There still is an ongoing discussion over the use of the word 'master' in the context of branches in versioning systems. The most common new name is 'main'.
> If we were to change the name of the 'master' branch, the following things would have to be done as well:
>  * Adjust the references to the 'master' branch in the '.asf.yaml' files
>  * Adjust the references to the 'master' branch in the GitHub workflow files (located in '.github/workflows/')
>  * Inform INFRA to change the default branch for GitHub and GitBox
>  * Release instructions on how to adjust the local workspace (uses 'main' as the new name as an example)
>  ## Rename the branch:
> {code:java}
> git branch -m master main{code}
>  ## Fetch from origin: 
> {code:java}
> git fetch origin{code}
>  ## Set the origin for the new branch:
> {code:java}
> git branch -u origin/main main{code}
>  ## Change the symbolic reference for HEAD:
> {code:java}
> git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main{code}
