Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.This dispatch from that Drupal circle of hell called the Project Application Code Review Process.
Myself and others keep being reminded that a proper Drupal sandbox has no place for a master branch -- please remove if you want your project approved.
The problem is that this is not easy or even possible. I have scoured the web and tried everything, including this crazy merge thingy that updated the master branch to what is should be.
But I can't delete the master branch on the remote. Here is a screen shot of the last futile attempt. If anyone has a solution, it would be appreciated.

Diogenes commentedI recently discovered a 'Default branch' setting on the Edit tab of the project page. The default branch was set to master. After I changed it to something else (7.x-1.x) I was able to delete the master on origin.
PROBLEM SOLVED - Yippee.
