You are technically correct. In reality though you can't expect programmers to code for eventualities that occur only in extremely rare cases (until now).
It's less rare than you think. Lots of repos use "develop", or "trunk" as their default, for instance.
But how many of those don't have a "master" branch at all?

You may be superficially correct, I’m not sure, but honestly the name of the canonical git branch is not a hill worth dying on. IMO the right move to battle the more draconian, Orwellian language policing of the cancel culture / “antiracism” dogma is to conserve your energy for the fights worth fighting. This just isn’t one of them.
That kind of thinking is why we have had riots destroying our cities, arsonists starting wildfires and burning churches, and spikes in the homicide rate this decade.
Isn't it fun when you can just say words out loud and make it look like you have a point?

> " The argument that associating linking the properties to 'good' and 'bad' could make people feel uncomfortable makes sense to me. " Then advocates of this should also be campaigning to stop using yellow as the color to indicate warnings, since it's insensitive to Asian-Americans. But we all know they aren't going to.
Asians aren't yellow though.

Wonder if Microsoft will be renaming the main character of their Halo games too :)
'master' branch is like a master recording, an original from which copies can be made off. I don't have a Master degree in English, but it feels someone is terribly confused.
That is not why it’s called that: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2019-May/...
That tweet is from the original creator who made "master" the default branch in git.
