Change default branch name for GitLab.com instance
Problem to solve
As part of gitlab-org&3600 GitLab has worked towards providing users flexibility in choosing a default branch name for their repositories both at the instance-level as well as the group-level.
The GitLab.com instance still uses master as its default branch name, something we'd like to change to main in order to align with Git's new default branch name as well as the community at large.
Proposal
Change default branch name in GitLab.com admin settings from master to main so that all new repos created from GitLab will use the new default.
Users will be able to change this for their particular group if they so desire.
