The latest commit message of README is "Merge branch 'master' into master" [1]. As someone who doesn't do git, what does that even mean? Does git allows multiple branches with same names?

- colinchartier 6y agoThe GitHub flavor of git essentially has two parts: Repository (i.e., minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings), and branch (i.e., master) In this case, someone merged eliabieri/big-list-of-naughty-strings at master to minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings at master via a pull request [1].
