Migrating Shaka repos and renaming branches

[Joey Parrish]

Hi everyone,

TL;DR: Repos are moving to the shaka-project org, master branch will be renamed to main

Today I'm announcing that the Shaka family of projects are migrating from github.com/google to the newly-created github.com/shaka-project organization.  This will let us more centrally manage repo settings, pool testing resources for GitHub Actions, and create a simple collection of our many projects.  (Probably more than you realized we had.)

Some less-popular projects have already been moved.  The following projects will be moved soon (exact date uncertain):

google/shaka-player                   => shaka-project/shaka-player

google/shaka-packager                 => shaka-project/shaka-packager

google/shaka-player-embedded          => shaka-project/shaka-player-embedded

google/shaka-streamer                 => shaka-project/shaka-streamer

google/generic-webdriver-server       => shaka-project/generic-webdriver-server

google/eme_logger                     => shaka-project/eme_logger

google/eme-encryption-scheme-polyfill => shaka-project/eme-encryption-scheme-polyfill

You should not need to change anything for this.  GitHub will forward requests to the new locations automatically.

Also, to keep up with evolving standard practices and inclusive language, the four Shaka projects' default branches will be renamed from master to main, right after the transfer.  You can update your local clones by running:

git branch -m master main

git fetch origin

git branch -u origin/main main

git remote set-head origin -a

git remote prune origin

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on GitHub or email me directly.
