Nice: saves me typing a couple of keys :)

    For Java code we use [Spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/) to format the code to comply with Avro's code style conventions (see above). Automatic formatting relies on [Avro's Eclipse JDT formatter definition](https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/master/lang/java/eclipse-java-formatter.xml). You can use the same definition to auto format from Eclipse or from IntelliJ configuring the Eclipse formatter plugin.

    Changes are normally committed to master first, then, if they're backward-compatible, cherry-picked to a branch.

If PHP users have followed the instructions in lang/php/README.md and copied "apache/avro": "dev-master" into composer.json files in their projects, and the branch is renamed, then will all of those projects fail to build? The GitHub web site can redirect to the new name of the branch but I don't know whether redirection works with Composer too.

Thanks for pointing out the missing instances. I somehow had a filter on my IDE for .github and missed all the others 🤦 !
For the php case I am going to go preventive and rename it to dev-main.

LGTM -- just the one commented URL needs to be restored, and go ahead and merge when you're ready!

I'm glad to make this change. My fingers' muscle memory has definitely also switched my "default" branch to main!
