Rename default branch -> `main` about hashprng HOT 11 CLOSED

Re master not positive, and that it shouldn't be normalized. Agree that stating & enforcing community standards is useful - and I don't have to agree with all the standards and/or their motivation to abide by them.

usethis doesn't seem to have a vignette - what specifically are you referencing here?

ah, i know how to take care of this. was looking more for the "why bother" - case seems to be "its the trend." 🤷 fine by me, i suppose.

from hashprng.

master is not positive language and shouldn't be something we normalise.

If we wanted to move to epinowcast.org this would be the kind of thing we would need to do in order to meet the package standards over there

don't agree with that assertion, but also not fussed re the change.

Which assertion? I think using community standards is a good idea regardless?

You need to make this change @pearsonca ...

git_default_branch_rename(to = "main")
✔ Setting active project to '/home/seabbs/Dropbox/academic/projects/hbmPRNG'
Error: You don't seem to have admin permissions for the source repo 'pearsonca/hbmPRNG', which is required to rename the default branch.

@seabbs did the epinowcast move in the wrong order here - should have dressed this first. guess you have it now?

from hashprng.

Done. Note @pearsonca you are now an admin as I think that was blocking this before.
