Proposal: Set the default branch to Main instead of Develop

[markdav-is]

Here is a handy use case that could really benefit from main being the default branch:

For a simpler developer experience when creating oqtane modules, we add the oqtane.framework as a sub-module to our repo and then add a few oqtane projects to our solution. This allows us to use a single instance of Visual Studio to debug our modules.

The issue we are running into with develop being the default branch is that there are a few extra steps to set the submodule to the proper version. It would be extra handy to have the default branch to be default for this case.

I understand that having develop be the default is handy for other reasons.

To be honest you only need to a the oqtane server project to the external solution and make sure this is the start project. I have been doing this since i started developing for the oqtane framework.

indeed. before we were using sub-modules, we just had instructions in the readme to get rolling with these steps. The sub-module reduces a few steps in the setup process. unfortunately, it also adds one step that is to change the branch in the submodule.

I'm going to answer my own question here . This is not required because you can specify the branch in you gitmodules file

[submodule "src/oqtane.framework"]
path = src/oqtane.framework
url = https://github.com/oqtane/oqtane.framework
branch = master
