It is a small thing but we should rename the default branch from master to main. More and more repos are doing this and main is now the default when you create a new repo. Github has made the renaming process very easy as well https://github.com/github/renaming#rename-existing

A lot of the industry has been working to remove the dated master/slave relationship terms. Updating the default branch to main is a relatively painless process and helps move this needle a bit more.
