## What is this `main` branch I see in the documentation?
When you create a new repository with Git, Git creates a base branch for you.
The default branch name that Git uses is `master` (this will be changed to `main` later).
The Git-hosting ecosystem has settled on using `main` to replace `master`.
When you create a new repository on say GitHub or GitLab, you'll get a `main` branch as your base branch.
It therefore makes sense for Renovate to replace `master` with `main` where possible as well.
A branch name has no special meaning within the Git program, it's just a name.
The base branch could be called `trunk` or `mainline` or `prod`, and Git would work just as well.
## Which Renovate versions are officially supported?
