I'm not able to do so because I can't change the settings. But here is an instruction how to change it: https://gist.github.com/danieldogeanu/739f88ea5312aaa23180e162e3ae89ab

I would have just branched off a main branch, changed all the protection and ci rules to main and then deleted the master branch.

Yes, that's essentially what the instruction recommends, but I'm not allowed to change the protection and delete the master branch 🙃 I just wanted to inform you that I can't take that issue

Ah, I see. I will take care of it.

So, I did the following things

Create Branch main
Set Ci-Rules to main
Make main default branch of the github repo
Make main protected branch and rquire PR with passing build before merging
Change all (2) PRs to be merged into main
Delete old branches includeing master

Locally:

Delete all branches exept main
Give it a star in Clion to mark it special

I think, this is done.
