Change default branch from master to main

[jsignell]

I'm realizing that doing distributed and dask at the same time is unfeasible since it'll mean that the tests never pass. I am going to split this up into just the distributed part.

[jakirkham]

Just a note, we might want to add main to pip install commands that do development installs that are not otherwise specifying a branch. We needed to do this for zict recently as noted in PR ( #4499 )

[jsignell]

Thanks @jakirkham. I just tried pip installing from git without specifying the branch and it seemed to work fine.

conda create -n test pip python=3.7
conda activate test
pip install git+https://github.com/dask/zict.git

[jakirkham]

Interesting. Well here is the CI failure we saw

https://github.com/dask/distributed/runs/1868031469

[jakirkham]

Maybe a non-zero exit code is being set (even though it happens to work)?

[jsignell]

Definitely the windows part of #4499 replacing master with main needed to happen. I am just wondering if the travis part did.

[jakirkham]

Right was wondering if that happened when running locally

[jsignell]

I just rebased and I expect this to pass.

Thanks @jsignell. Given the recent release, and no reported issues with the branch name change in other dask/* repos, I think we're in a good place to merge this (and the corresponding PR in dask/dask) soon. I'll comment over in the community issue just to give people a heads up

[jsignell]

I think the failure is unrelated, so this should be good to merge.

[jrbourbeau]

Thanks @jsignell!

[jakirkham]

What's the ETA on fixing the Dask branch as well? We need to update some CI environments and would ideally like to make this change once

Edit: Following up in PR ( dask/dask#7198 (comment) )
