[Evergreen-dev] Changing branch name "master" to "main" at the conference

[Jeff Davis]

I think we should reduce the friction for new contributions as much as 
possible, and it seems to me that "main" will cause the fewest headaches 
for new developers.  It's the branch name that people are starting to 
expect now that Github and others have made the change.  I don't really 
see a compelling reason not to use "main" at this point.
