Git to rename ''master" branch to "main" to fight racism
Yes, you read that right.
Not sure what does master has to do with racism. Why does the society has to over complicate things
Agreed. I would think OP would rally against “slave”...
Exactly. Even if it derives from the usage of master in a master-slave relationship, nothing about the usage of the word discriminates against any race.

And HEAD is sexist. To what do you propose we change it to?
Most comments are against the change but don’t see why there’s such a big backlash? Master in this context did derive from a master slave connotation and if it’s not a big deal to change why bother making snide comments about shifting away. It doesn’t really affect me either way will probs be mildly annoying for a week and then I’ll get used to it and if it helps make some other people feel more comfortable then I’m only all for it
Only blacks have been enslaved? BS like this affects you because apparently anything can be racist. Master bedroom derived from master-slave connotation also. Pretty sure that started before colonialism started.
I'm a Slav and my ancestors had been enslaved, and I want to continue using the master branch, master/slave architecture, and whitelist/blacklist.
I like it. 2 less characters.
Two FEWER characters.
What about the master theorem? Main theorem?
Comrade theorem.
LOL
Good thing I went for a main degree in CS
Anyone against this is just a boomer or a boomer in training. The world is changing, don’t get left behind.
Not only that, who gives a fuck? If anything it’s less shit to type out.
