Update to Git changes the default of init.defaultBranch to main
If I say &quot;you are the master of your own destiny&quot;, is that offensive, because the word &quot;master&quot; is always offensive?<p>I think that &quot;main branch&quot; sounds fine, it makes as much sense as &quot;master branch&quot;, but I&#x27;m irked that people are always caving to word policing. Like, we&#x27;re just going to scratch a whole bunch of words from the dictionary because someone somewhere is offended? The other day, people at my workplace were saying that expressions like &quot;blind spot&quot; and &quot;falling on deaf ears&quot; needed to be purged. AFAIK, &quot;blind spot&quot; is not actually about blind people, it&#x27;s a term related to driving and the angles seeing people can&#x27;t see in without looking.
