Hi all,

We have renamed the default branch of the kubernetes/community repo from master to main, tracked in kubernetes/community#6290.

What's happening

The rename will follow the process documented in the default branch migration guide.

What you need to do

For any PRs open to kubernetes/community:

  • Open PRs will be automatically retargeted by GitHub.
  • Web URLs using /master/ will be automatically redirected by GitHub.
  • Local clones will need a one-time update:
    git fetch origin
    git checkout main
    git branch -d master
    git remote set-head origin -a
  • Forks — consider updating your fork's default branch name to match.

If you have questions or concerns, please comment on the tracking issue or reach out in #github-management on Slack.

Cheers,
Christoph
