Yet another person not "getting" it. It's not ever single word with master in it. It's the history of the connotation of master in Tech like hard drive and controller master/slave wording. Even though it looks like this is not the case in the original Git naming why not use something else? Simple change...
So did you even read my last reply? Anyway, name your branches whatever you want. I'm not sure why people are pushing back on this so hard. It's not that difficult to understand.
Sure I did.
Let me put it in other words: there is no slave in git, 'master' in git not originating from an offensive "master/slave wording". It is just a single word same as in master's degree, mastercard, etc.
Something originating from 'master copy'.
Github competitor, Gitlab, was first to enrol into this renaming stuff. They've decided to change white-list and black-list terms. Well, ok, this could sound offensive.
Github had to act too.
I'm pushing on this, cause I see just politics here. this change will not improve anyone's life. There are other better things to worry about.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
This is totally politics.
I believe, many of these people voting to replace 'master' from git use credit cards. And somehow they are quite ok to use MasterCard.
And that is something, that they use every day, and something, that other people see them use

Do we have slave branches in git?
It is just the only word, same as in mastercard, master's degree, master-whatever-else.
