I was also thinking of doing this, thanks for opening the issue @GrooveCS!

Made the change. If anyone wants to fix their local clone:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a

AFAIK, master --> main branch transition is not happening for any other k8s/k8s-sig repos. I think it will be a coordinated effort across repos to change and update docs/CI jobs etc.
@nikhita is it fine to change default branch individually per repo or it should wait ?

It is fine to change the default branch individually. https://k8s.dev/rename has more details if you'd like to do it for this repo.

Umm so I had already changed the branch name before Navid commented. I took a look at the link Nikhita mentioned and seems like the only step missing/applicable was dropping a mail to the SIG-Architecture mailing list. Have done that now.

Closing this issue :)
