Proposal: rename `main` branch to `develop`

Open metachris opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Like Prysm, to make it clear that it's not the latest stable release there. People looking for stable releases should checkout the latest tag, use go install or use the latest Docker image.

In addition, we could also consider having a stable branch with the state of the latest release.

I like it, main + stable.

the thing is that main is not necessarily as stable as it implies, PRs could be merged without exhaustive tests having run. These would only run before a new release.

Which is why I'd like to rename the main branch to develop, to make it more explicit that using it is maybe using an experimental version.

I'd support this, either following prysm's lead or lighthouse with stable/unstable

Created develop branch, set it as repository default branch, and removed main branch.
