The default branch name should be changed from master to main.

Why? It's just a name. I think almost every Homebrew repository has a master branch.

Github und Gitlab decided in 2020 that the term master refers to slavery.

So the new default name of the default branch should always be main.

I just saw that every repo from homebrew still uses master. So maybe you can ignore this issue...
