Move development branch to 'main'
Projects on gitlab.gnome.org are migrating—one at a time, because of resources.
A good check list is the one followed by GLib:
-
Update/Close as many MRs which are targeting master
as possible, as they likely won’t merge properly afterwards -
Update references to master
in the git repository.gitlab-ci.yml
-
CONTRIBUTING.md
andREADME.md
libgee.doap
-
Add a note to NEWS
(and maybeREADME.md
) about the rename, and include/link to the instructions below on updating local clones -
Push the new branch and deprecate the old one -
Change default branch in gitlab -
Change branch protection in gitlab to apply the old master
settings to the new branch, and to prevent all pushes tomaster
(to prevent it accidentally being recreated) -
Update gnome-build-meta -
Update libgee.wrap
files in various projects? -
File a task about removing the old master
branch (as per this) after a month or two
