remained

A tiny tool to do all the local steps GitHub tells you to do once you've change your default branch name from master to main.

Usage

First, you'll want to change your upstream default branch's name in GitHub.

Next, just run this commmand (assuming you already have Node.js installed):

npx remained

What does remained do?

Remained runs the following commmands, which are the same commands that GitHub tells you to run when you rename your default branch:

git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
