Github has said the most popular one across all their repos is `main`, and that's what they'll be going with themselves.

I personally hope this won't catch on because some third party library still expect master to be the default branch. When main is used, I have to monkeypatch some script I use to work aroud it.

edit: I fixed the script to use branch [0] instead of branch master (using GitPython).

Maybe you can fork them and submit a patch with the changes fixing it. :)
