Tis a little disconcerting to see master called master. I thought we'd all changed that?

- gettodachoppa 3y agoI go out of my way to change the default tech companies try to push on you, back to 'master'. I was migrating a team at work from SVN to git and the project lead was telling me the trunk branch should be called 'main' because that's the standard. I explained this is American nonsense and git has always used master, but because the Google algorithm wouldn't find any evidence except articles from the looney American left, I ended up having to show him on the CLI (which of course he never used before) in a bare new project to prove it. Thankfully our hatred of American cultural imperialism united us and he agreed on using master. Three cheers for Ramirez!
- JimDabell 3y agoThe default branch name in Git is still master. Regardless, this is an article originally published in 2010.
