It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    It makes sense because “master copy” is the name of the “official” version of something. Nothing to do with slavery by the way.

      But “Main” is more clear, and putting in extra effort to basically just piss off politically (over)correct people doesn’t make any sense, and is kinda weird tbh

      It’s already not the master copy if you have release branches or tags, but it is the “main” branch 🤪
