    Fuck those that use main. If you’re working on a library fork that has main and a project that has master you’re bound to invert the two.

    “What do you mean I can’t checkout main? Oh right, here it’s master…”

    For once that we had a standard, it had to be ruined.

      The standard is now main.

        The standard is now main.

        Git itself does not use that standard yet, so at least now there are two competing standards.

        I get that there are cultural reasons why the word master was loaded language, but still, it’s not like institutional racism will go away. Meanwhile, the rest of the world which doesn’t struggle with the remnants of slavery has to put up with US weirdness.
