because: GitHub has changed the default branch name to main instead of
master. This change has been replicated by many companies, organizations
and projects.
The naming change follows along the lines of an industry trend to deprecate
the usage of terms such as master and slave in favor of more inclusive
language.

this commit: Changes all references to the master branch to main.
I would additionally suggest renaming of the default branch on this project to main on this project.
