main vs master

The issue has always been with the reasons invoked to make the change

Otherwise it would have been smoother

You 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.

I 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

The purpose was to make some people feel righteous, which is the purpose of so much human activity.

personally my default branch is called dominatrix, just to annoy the kind of person who argues about master

Do you call all your subsidiary branches “paypigs”?

ugh, half the repos at work use main and half use master. Such a pain.

Or the defaults changed, but you are free to lash out.

> 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 :-)

Bigotry is obviously real, what are you smoking? Plenty of bigots out there.
