@mrsaeeddev if you're going to hide my comment, could you reply to it here? I'm happy for you to correct me, but I don't get why you'd want to hide this.

Because master-slave is a general computer science term that is not specific to branches. So, I've seen many people using branches other than master as slave branches. I already had a long discussion with another person here on the same topic. Since I removed the world slave altogether from the post after reservations of people like you so, I feel there's no need for more discussion on this topic. It will only spark controversy. My personal motive behind this post is to support BLM movement and I don't want to spark any heated debates relating to it or any other topic. I hope it is clearer now.
