Composer and packagist automatically defines alias for version looking branches, for example `7.x-dev` for a branch called `7`. Even with tagged versions and version branches in place, there is no automatic "next highest" major alias for the default branch, for example `main`. To allow extension and projects to specifcy a concrete development without using the branch, for example with `composer req --dev typo3/testing-framework:'9.*.*@dev'` branch alias for dev-main is set to the current major development version for the main branch. Note that that allows us to branch out main into a `9` branch in the future and updating the branch alias of main and extension will stay on the suitiable branch for their TYPO3 versions without forced to new major. Used command(s): ```shell composer config extra."branch-alias"."dev-main" "9.x-dev" ```
