[GRASS-user] Pulling source changes from github

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Rich,

This is likely due to the default branch name changing to 'main' 
(instead of 'master').  I documented the steps for the MapServer 
community at 
https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Renamed-Default-Branch

But you can likely just issue the following commands in your local machine:

   git branch -m master main
   git fetch origin
   git branch -u origin/main main
   git remote set-head origin -a


(maybe Vashek wrote more details in a previous message here, but this is 
my input, ha)
