Thanks Dan for the pointer! That is useful indeed.  Sounds like Julio, instead of creating a copy and archiving the older master branch, you can simply rename using the steps outlined here:

    Hi,
    I'm new the community, so sorry if I have the wrong context. 
    If the goal is just to rename the branch I believe you can do that automagically now without manual copies and deletes...
    https://github.com/github/renaming#rename-existing
    " Renaming a branch will:
    * Re-target any open pull requests
    * Update any draft releases based on the branch
    * Move any branch protection rules that explicitly reference the old name
    * Update the branch used to build GitHub Pages, if applicable
    * Show a notice to repository contributors, maintainers, and admins on the repository homepage with instructions to update local copies of the repository
    * Show a notice to contributors who git push to the old branch
    * Redirect web requests for the old branch name to the new branch name
    * Return a "Moved Permanently" response in API requests for the old branch name"
    
    Regards,
    Dan

        Hi kata-folks
    
        I'm planning to create a copy of master branch in the govmm[1]
        repository called main, main will be the principal branch and master
        will be archived (if this is possible). I will make the changes needed
        in the kata-containers repository to support the previous change.
    
        Please speak up if you see any inconvenience or disagree with that
        change.
    
        Thanks

        Julio
