I spent my 4th of July putting together a one-line command that changes your default branch from `master` to `main`, and optionally:

- Deletes the local master branch - Updates the origin's default branch to main - Deletes the origin's master branch - Updates your local git config to use main as the default branch when using git init

I know there is a lot of debate this topic. I'm obviously for making the change, and wanted to make it easy for others. I won't be in the comments to debate things. If you have any (constructive) feedback, open an issue in the Github tracker, or DM me on twitter @typeof_goodidea

Without an employer to sponsor a pass, the price of many conferences is fairly inhibiting. When I can watch the videos after the event, the idea of spending that kind of money to be there in-person doesn't really add up.

The networking aspect is attractive - but I imagine that these kind of connections would be more valuable to those in the startup / "salaried" landscape.

If you're a freelancer and have gone to a tech conference, what has your experience been like? Did you feel like it was it worth it?

In my case, I'm thinking about attending the GraphQL Summit later this year. My clients tend to be small businesses or early stage startups that are looking to put together an MVP - not necessarily the kind of people you'd meet while discussing the architecture of your API.
