Title: 2021 – Page 8 – Make WordPress Core --- # Yearly Archives: 2021 [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jorbin/) [Aaron Jorbin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jorbin/) 6:57 pm _on_ November 10, 2021 Tags: [git ( 7 )](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/git/), [github ( 9 )](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/github/)    # 󠀁[Default git branch for wordpress/wordpress-develop](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/11/10/default-git-branch-for-wordpress-wordpress-develop/)󠁿 Last year the decision was made to [move the default branches for official WordPress GitHub repositories from](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/06/18/proposal-update-all-git-repositories-to-use-main-instead-of-master/)` master` to `trunk`. The necessary systems work for the svn to git sync has been completed and as of today, [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop](https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop) and git://develop.git.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)/ have been updated to reflect the new default branchbranch A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses branches to store the latest development code for each major release( 3.9, 4.0, etc.). Branches are then updated with code for any minor releases of that branch. Sometimes, a major version of WordPress and its minor versions are collectively referred to as a "branch", such as "the 4.0 branch".. If you have a local checkout, you can take the following steps to update the default branch ```wp-block-code $ git checkout master $ git branch -m master trunk $ git fetch $ git branch --unset-upstream $ git branch -u origin/trunk $ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/trunk ``` Please note that https://github.com/wordpress/wordpress and git://core.git.wordpress. org/ along with a few others on github have not been updated yet. This post will be updated when that move is complete. Thanks to [@desrosj](https://profiles.wordpress.org/desrosj/) for reviewing this post.

It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. v1 still work as expected, but we’re preparing things to land in 5.9, which means cutting a new version for theme.json. * The PR to show colors from different sources uncovered a dormant bug that did not have any effect until now and that we’re fixing [here](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/36054). The fix is to stop retrofitting the filtered settings from the `block_editor_settings` into theme.json and instead use the theme supports directly. This may affect plugins that used the `block_editor_settings` to change theme support values, and they should be updated to use the `after_theme_setup` filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks).
