Following googlefonts/gftools#302 I want to move this repo's default branch from 'master' to 'main'.

Since there are both upstream and downstream dependencies, I'm filing this issue to coordinate the change.

Looks like when one changes the branch to main, Github auto-closes all open PRs :( Currently there are 93 open.

This is now done, and the needed downstream changes are made.

Turns out github has a 'edit default' feature in the repo settings > branches page, which repoints open PRs automatically :)
