Main or Master: Where Do You Git-llegiances lie?
What do you call your primary repo?
I am passionate about creation, be it code or written. I believe that knowledge should be shared and that if we all gave a little bit of our time to helping the next person the world would be a better place.
"Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted"
If you've been using github long enough, you'll recall a time where your primary branch was named master by default. Master was all we knew as the primary.
Then, I don't exactly recall when, a decision wa111s made to now make the primary branch main. I say decision because although that's what most people switched to, not everyone was on board...
In a number of instances, these type of changes are thrust upon us and we end up accepting them. Even in cases when we're not 100% with them.
That got me curious about peoples preferences....
What do you prefer for your primary branch name; main or master? Also, why?
