I think changing master/slave terminology is justified, but to me master branch suggests something like master key or master prints. That which is the superior and definitive example of the collection from which it comes.
- MrStonedOne 5y agoMaster apprentice is the better analogy. as once a branch is merged, it effectively becomes the master.

- adamrezich 5y agosee how quickly that slope gets slippery?
- nlitened 5y agoShouldn’t universities rename master’s degree programs as well?
- avereveard 5y agoThat comes from master/pupil
- _-david-_ 5y agoIt is 2021 so context doesn't matter. Master can mean slave owner so it needs to change otherwise someone might be offended. /sarcasm
- Retric 5y agoI am fine replacing Master/Slave terminology where it shows up. I just think Master alone is fine just like Masters degree, Master craftsman, Master/Apprentice, Master of ceremonies, hell Master brand hand tools.
