Use instance default branch name for wikis
Problem to solve
The default branch name master
in Git appears to derive the name from it's predecessor BitKeeper which had master/slave naming. Aside from the history of the default branch naming in Git, the historic term master
is problematic.
After adding an instance setting for default branch name for new repositories https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/221013, new wikis should inherit from this setting when created.
Further details
Proposal
When a new wiki repository is created, the default branch (HEAD
) should be inherited from the instance's default branch setting.
Testing
Please run package-and-qa
in MR for regression testing.
