There has been a lot of talk recently on the topic of renaming the default git repository branch to something other than master.

I'm for it - and I made tool to make it easy:

npx no-masters

will:

• Create a copy of your master branch and rename it to main
• (optionally) push this main branch to github and update the default branch
• (optionally) delete the local and remote master branches
• (optionally) set up your local git config to use main as the default branch when creating new repositories with git init.

Enjoy, and please share!
