Git & GitHub Workflow documentation references outdated master branch #3726
Description
Document Change needed
While reviewing the Git and GitHub Workflow section of the PEcAn documentation (PEcAn Book), I noticed that it still instructs contributors to use the master branch (for example, commands like git checkout master).
However, the PEcAn repository’s default branch is now main. Following the current documentation can therefore cause confusion or errors for new contributors when setting up their local development environment.
Expected Behaviour
Documentation examples and instructions should reference the correct default branch:
git checkout main
Suggested fix
- Update all references from master to main in the Git & GitHub Workflow documentation
- Review related code snippets to ensure consistency
