How to move/rename an existing set of documentation?
We recently renamed https://github.com/newrelic/rpm to https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-agent AND we changed the default branch from `master` to `main`
What's the best way to move all existing documentation from:
* https://rubydoc.info/github/newrelic/rpm (master)
to:
* https://rubydoc.info/github/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-agent (main)

Your documentation should exist at both locations and reflect the current state of each git repository. If GitHub is redirecting rpm to newrelic-ruby-agent under the hood, these two URLs will be equivalent, so there really isn't anything to "move" per se.
If URL redirection is what you're looking for, this is something you probably want to do in your own URL links. Unfortunately, RubyDoc doesn't handle redirections for old repositories.

Ok, allowing the links to live for both the old repo name and new is good enough as github.com will redirect the old links to the new links.

Do we need to add the repository again with it's new name or is that automatic?

You certainly would, but it looks like it's already setup: https://rubydoc.info/github/newrelic/newrelic-ruby-agent
