Change default base branch: master -> main #675
Description
Since GitHub changed the name of the default branch on new repos to main on Oct 1, 2020, changesets might consider updating the default baseBranch to match:
$ yarn changeset init
$ cat .changeset/config.json
{
"$schema": "https://unpkg.com/@changesets/[email protected]/schema.json",
"changelog": "@changesets/cli/changelog",
"commit": false,
"linked": [],
"access": "restricted",
- "baseBranch": "master",
+ "baseBranch": "main",
"updateInternalDependencies": "patch",
"ignore": []
}

There are might be couple of places in the codebase where we default to
master- and I think we can't change them right now, in the current major version, because that would be a breaking change. Theinitcommand, IMHO, can be changed though - because this is targeting new users.@janosh would you like to prepare a PR with such a change?

Can baseBranch set multiple values?
like
baseBranch:["main","master"]Andarist commentedon Dec 29, 2021
I somewhat doubt it (I think that some code might depend on this being a single value and this might not be that easy to change without introducing breaking changes). What that would even mean though?
