Git version 2.31.0 (scheduled for release March 15th, 2021) will change the default branch name in Git from master to main.

In coordination with the Git project and the broader community, GitLab will be changing the default branch name for new projects on both our Saas (GitLab.com) and self-managed offerings starting with GitLab 14.0 .

This will not affect existing projects.
