Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch?
-
my editor converts tabs to spaces and back again. so that's a non-issue.
I do put personal preference ahead of what the group wants if the group wants something that has been called "frivolous" and "not that big of a deal".
I don't understand how I'm the asshole if I'm the one made responsible for setting the standards for the team.

what's hilarious to me is none of you realizes that I might not be white. you've judged the color of my skin entirely based on an opinion that conflicts with your perception of what a person of color would have. last time I checked that's racial profiling, which is racist. so...who's trying to impose power over whom here?
regardless, I vehemently deny that I want to use "master" to force my will onto others (outside of maintaining a standard branching strat). as I have stated previously, the hourly cost to convert master to main is far too high to consume and too frivolous of a change to piecemeal out over the next three years.
until HR is ready to explain to the executives why I can't deliver the features they want this quarter, it'll stay as "master".

The stupidest problem I've seen arising from this debate was that with one employer they had a legally required retention policy, and instead of implementing it in their GitLab server software, they did it directly by coming in between GitLab and git. The result was that they had no idea which to use, so they protected both.
On one repo, we mistakenly made both branches, and there was no way to get rid of either, so it kinda just stayed there. It confused the hell out of new people.

That might be it then. I never really read the getting started guide.

You mean the GitHub account? It's my personal one, 9-10 years old I think.
-
It’s funny to see people get offended just because they misunderstand the etymology of a word
I've got a story for you then:
-
How about trunk to imply how to use it
-
When's the time you changed branch names after creation? Master to main is the only time for a lot of devs

I lived in Mexico for a long time and the amount of bullshit I've had for using the word "negro" is just astonishing and insane. Can't point out the color of the night sky in mexict, that's racism, somehow.
To clarify, as far as I know it's only people from the US that freak about this, other countries don't really seem to have this problem.

If you're trying to appear sassy at least try and understand the point.
I'm not virtue signalling with PRETENDING to fight racism by bitching about words I only partially understand. I fight racism by simply treating everyone the same, I simply don't give a damn about skin color, never have. Lead by example.
So what have you done?
-
That's not fighting racism. Being not racist isn't the same as being anti racist.
For example, do you think by existing in a capitalist society you're also fighting socialism? How many wars are you winning in your head by doing nothing?
You're doing so little that you can't even stop using words that bother people, even when they said it bothers them.
You have a blessed and isolated life if there are zero words that can cause you emotional harm. This doesn't mean you're strong, it means you're privileged. White privilege, in fact.
As for what I do? I give interviews to minority candidates when when their resume isn't great. And it's been a boon for my company because it turns out they're really talented, but bad at resumes. I also spend time educating my fellow minimally melanated morons on the concept of systemic racism, and why simply doing nothing is not the same as being not racist. Hence we're here.
