Research direction

Open the installation guide at fuelcycle.org/user/install_from_git.html#install-cycamore and inspect the first source-installation step for both cyclus and cycamore. Change the outdated default branch name from master to main, then verify both installation instructions use the updated branch.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When I was building cyclus from source using this link, the dated default branch "master" has not been updated to "main" per the new standard. This inconsistency occurs in the first step of installing both cyclus and cycamore on that page.
