rename default branch

[danbjoseph]

at some point it would be good to rename the default branch to "main" or similar

Hey @danbjoseph cc: @kopitek8

Also related to:

• rename default branch mapswipe#760 @frozenhelium @samshara

We will need to have admin access to these repositories to analyze and change the default branch.

Also, we should probably try to do this instead

Default branch → dev or develop

• Currently, any PR created, uses master as base branch since it is the default.
  • Having dev or develop as base branch will avoid the extra step of choosing dev as base branch in new PR
• Context: Currently we have this flow
  • Create PR → Merge changes to dev → Deploy to dev instance → Do QA → Merge to master → Deploy to production

Change master → main

your suggested approach sounds good
