        Isn’t this only the case in github? All my repos are based from master, and I would assume that’s because I init on the command line and push up to the remote?

          GitLab also changed a few years back. We host our own, so got the update later than people using the service … it was a bit of an argument at first since everyone wanted to stick with the familiar, but laziness won out. Unfortunately, it’s not really justifiable to go back and change legacy projects, so now it’s inconsistent

            If you don’t have any scripts that rely on branch name it should be pretty trivial actually. But I wouldn’t be shocked if you had a few dozen scripts that nobody has looked at in the last century lol

          Imma be honest I pulled that estimate out of my ass lol, but I feel like it was pre-pandemic? which would put it at at least 4 years ago and so holy shit I’m gonna go cry in a corner because it’s been 4 years since the start of the pandemic

        You should not be pushing into your main/master/whatever branch.

        All the main/master replies completely miss the point, further emphasizing sirsirsalot’s statement.
