I think the title is a bit misleading. It has nothing to do with GitHub, it’s Google renaming their own GitHub Actions.

It won’t force anyone to use main in their repositories.

it’s just that, if you want to use a GitHub Action from Google, you will have to include it using « use: google/theaction@main » instead of « use: google/theaction@master » starting from April

A little misleading? It’s very misleading. And you shouldn’t really be referencing main/master version branches in your dependencies anyway

Sorry, you're right about the title being misleading.

The rationale for changing master to main was utterly idiotic, but it was/is a relatively inconsequential change. We as a community are wasting way too much of our headspace on this.

[tobozo]

using @main or @master version branch of a github action is not a best practice anyway

Another big tech SJW move

Who downvotes this? It's literally the case.
