Dear Support Team,
We would like to request a change in the default Gitflow configuration in our repositories so that the primary branch is named "main" instead of "master."
Justification:
This change aligns with the tech community's initiative to adopt more inclusive language. Platforms like GitHub and GitLab have already adopted "main" as the default name for the primary branch, and we would like to follow this practice to maintain consistency and promote a more welcoming environment. The change aims to avoid the association of the term "master" with negative connotations related to racism.
Action Requested:
We ask that the Gitflow configuration be updated so that when initializing a new repository or a new Gitflow workflow, the production branch is created with the name "main" by default.
We believe that this change, although simple, is an important step in modernizing our development practices and reinforcing our commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Thank you for your attention and support in implementing this change.
Sincerely,
Ronaldo Melo
