lafiona opened a new pull request #12489: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12489
## Overview This pull request is part of a larger effort to rename the default branch from `master` to `main`. In order to enable a smooth transition and streamline any future renaming tasks, the default branch name is computed and used. ## Implementation 1. Added a script, `git-vars.sh` that computes the `DEFAULT_BRANCH` of a git repository. Calculations for other required git variables, in the future, can be added to this script. 2. For the following release scripts, hardcoded references to 'master' have been replaced with the value of `DEFAULT_BRANCH`: - `01-prepare.sh` - `post-04-website.sh` - `post-05-ruby.sh` - `post-09-docs.sh` - `post-12-bump-versions.sh` -` post-13-msys2.sh` - `post-14-homebrew.sh` 3. The changes to `01-prepare.sh` and 'post-12-bump.sh` are required for renaming the default branch name for `apache/arrow`. However, the changes for the remaining files are done preemptively in anticipation of other repositories renaming the `master` branch. ## Testing 1. Testing details to be shared. ## Notes 1.
