fix: 🔄 update references from master to main

HeyItsGilbert · HeyItsGilbert · commit 8c81ebd80ca2 · 2026-05-15T22:49:30.000-07:00
* Changed all occurrences of `master` to `main` in:
  - CI workflow configuration
  - Documentation files
  - Example dependency files
  - PowerShell scripts
* Ensures consistency with the new default branch naming convention.

 ## Extending PSDepend
 
-PSDepend is extensible. To add a new dependency type, create a script in the [PSDependScripts folder](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/tree/master/PSDepend/PSDependScripts) and register it in [PSDependMap.psd1](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/blob/master/PSDepend/PSDependMap.psd1).
+PSDepend is extensible. To add a new dependency type, create a script in the [PSDependScripts folder](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/tree/main/PSDepend/PSDependScripts) and register it in [PSDependMap.psd1](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/blob/main/PSDepend/PSDependMap.psd1).
 
 Your script must:
 
 - Include comment-based help describing how it uses `Dependency` metadata
 - Accept a `PSDependAction` parameter with values `Install`, `Test`, and/or `Import`
 - Implement the expected behavior for each action (`Install` installs, `Test` returns a boolean, `Import` loads the dependency)
 
-See [Git.ps1](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/blob/master/PSDepend/PSDependScripts/Git.ps1) and [PSGalleryModule.ps1](https://github.com/PowerShellOrg/PSDepend/blob/master/PSDepend/PSDependScripts/PSGalleryModule.ps1) for reference implementations.
