Gitlab default branch name changes to main

I think the default branch name change has been good for the ecosystem; “master” didn’t always make sense for whatever workflow was used, and it was hardcoded all over a bunch of tooling. I think “main” makes more sense, regardless of politics, and this encouraged a lot of software to make the default branch configurable.

I wonder if a master's degree is also offensive.

Master has multiple definitions, yours is not the same as the one git used.

If we're referring to 'master' in the context of master/slave, then that's also not the same as the one git uses
