Default puppet branch

[Josh Cooper]

Hi all,

I wanted to provide a heads up that we're changing the default branch for the puppet repo to main, effective today. Later this month, we're going to rename the master branch to 6.x leaving us with 3 active branches:

main

6.x

5.5.x

Each branch will continue to be auto-merged to later branches, and conflicts manually resolved.

Renaming the master branch to 6.x is on hold until github provides tooling to retarget open drafts and pull requests: https://github.com/github/renaming#later-this-year-seamless-move-for-existing-repositories-

Similar changes will be made to other puppet-agent components like puppet-agent, facter, pxp-agent, etc.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on #puppet-dev on slack.

Josh
