This is a highly disingenuous comment Bohdan.
Too aggressive on his part and the original issue is beyond politics, I agree.
But there is a point in there. Git certainly isn't the only thing using the master/slave terminology. There's a lot of refactoring (perhaps total rebuilding) to be done worldwide if we want to be consistent about this.
Btw, for transparency purposes stackoverflow clearly shows the number of downvotes on answers that were non-constructive. As far as I can tell the invisible hand of the "community" faded away that comment, although that comment has above average hearts.
While it may be poorly worded, the fact that is has nearly double the amount of hearts would suggest that it is a shared sentiment.
Thanks so much! I'm new to coding, but those terms have made me feel icky. Thank you, thank you!
Thanks for this! I actually forgot you can change the default branch on github 😅😅
Very nice! I've been going through my repositories updating them (I'll probably post something about it on Wednesday or Thursday, myself), but something that hadn't occurred to me was deleting the original branch.
Awesome! I look forward to reading it.
I hope the workshop goes well today @nočnica! This is definitely an important topic.
With the latest git version 2.28 you can set the default branch name globally with this command:

Thank you! I need to update this post :)
How do you add the git function to git itself so that it's run whenever we init a repo?
I do not think there’s a good way to do that, though anyone who clones a repository so initiated will have the same branch naming scheme.
Thankfully GitHub is looking at changing default naming soon :)
