main vs master
- inigyou 4mo agopersonally my default branch is called dominatrix, just to annoy the kind of person who argues about master
- egypturnash 4mo agoDo you call all your subsidiary branches “paypigs”?
- wiether 4mo agoThe issue has always been with the reasons invoked to make the change Otherwise it would have been smoother
- happymellon 4mo agoYou didn't hear the foaming at the mouth shouting to rename master recordings, master documents, or dub over The Master from Dr. Who. Considering how much effort we had to out into fixing pipelines because of hardcoded scripts, and the lack of good reason to do it its no surprise that it was scoffed at. White keyboard warriors needed to make a change, but couldn't do anything meaningful as it would require actually doing something. At least this change makes sense.
- ChocolateGod 4mo agoI thought the purpose of the rename was to encourage these contributions that apparently weren't happening because of the branch name? It certainly helped GNOME whom was one of the biggest proponents /s
- chadgpt3 4mo agoThe purpose was to make some people feel righteous, which is the purpose of so much human activity.

- nh23423fefe 4mo agolol bigotry isnt real
- QuercusMax 4mo agoBigotry is obviously real, what are you smoking? Plenty of bigots out there.
- lelanthran 4mo ago> What does "master" mean in a DVCS anyway? It's the path you're following. "Following in the path of the master" sounds like a movie I'd watch. "Following in the path of the main", not so much. YMMV :-)
- tadfisher 4mo agoOr the defaults changed, but you are free to lash out.
