wifiscanner

Important note to existing contributors!

If you have a local clone you will need to update your default branch from master to main. The easiest way to do this is to delete the clone and recreate it.

Alternatively type the following commands (thanks Scott):

git checkout master
$ git branch -m master main
$ git fetch
$ git branch --unset-upstream
$ git branch -u origin/main
$ git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD refs/remotes/origin/main

Usage
