> How are you going to be shamed? I thought there's nothing wrong with it?
If you re-read my comments you will understand that I don't believe there's anything wrong with using the word "master" to name a branch. But other people do, which is why there was an uproar and the default name was ultimately changed to "main".
I made a comment saying I disagree with the word police and I think it's dumb to cast people as being insensitive for using a longstanding word that makes sense to many people in the context it's used in.
It doesn't even make sense in this context though. The name just got copied from BitKeeper which had master and slave branches.
Git doesn't have that concept.
> Sure, until somebody makes the mistake of not renaming all of their old "master" branches and gets shamed by the word police over it.
How are you going to be shamed? I thought there's nothing wrong with it?
