And don’t pretend like master doesn’t mean what it means.

Claiming that master on github stems from master recordings is not only disingenuous but also incorrect.

As a FOSS alternative to BitKeeper, Git naturally reimplemented it’s naming conventions as well - and because of the power of version control - we can actually check what the original meaning was derived from:

We are then going to modify the file on both the master and slave repository and then merge the work.

And yes I agree that GitHub just changing the name of the default branch while keeping their ICE contracts is performative as fuck - which imo means we should both boycott GitHub and use naming conventions that don’t have a history related to one of the worst atrocities the global north has brought upon the world…
