Changing non-inclusive naming on Git for Windows
- ThrowawayBandit 6y agoCalling the master branch 'master' "incites emotional distress"? (from the comments on github) Speechless.
- ksaj 6y agoAgreed. One of the comments points out that the term master is also used in reference to painters. In that context, it isn't a master/slave metaphor, but one of being definitive. Likewise a master copy doesn't beget a slave copy. It is possible that people are becoming over-sensitive to specific words to the point they forget about meaning and intent.
