A Python script for bulk renaming the default branch of your GitHub repositories using the API
Project description
The default git/GitHub branch name is oppressive terminology (more info). It is easy to change the branch name for a single repository or for new repositories. This script makes it easy to rename your default branch on GitHub repositories in bulk.
Usage
To install, run
python -m pip install rename-github-default-branch
Then, create a GitHub.com personal access token with the repo permission scope and set the environment variable:
export RENAME_GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
Then to rename the default branch to main for a specific repository (you must have write access):
rename-github-default-branch -r dfm/rename-github-default-branch -t main
Or for all the repos that you own (excluding forks):
rename-github-default-branch -t main
You can also provide regular expressions to match against the repository name. For example:
rename-github-default-branch -t main -p dfm/* -p exoplanet-dev/*
