While your comment is in jest, I agree with the sentiment. The whole "main" debacle sucks and, to this day, still breaks everyone's git usage.
Sometimes a repo uses “main” and sometimes “master”. It’s not like “master” was the only option before
I also discovered `fetch.prune` and `pull.autoSetupRemote` which will slightly enhance my workflow.
My only disagreement is with the diff prefixes. I prefer to display one path starting with ".", so that I can double-click it and paste it. So I don't want contextual prefixes, I'll keep my `diff.dstPrefix = ./`.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Honest question: What has it broken about your git usage? I haven’t really noticed a problem. Sometimes a repo uses “main” and sometimes “master”. It’s not like “master” was the only option before
And there's a whole new breed of programmers out there who feel offended on behalf of others about renaming versus not renaming, for example, the word "robot" comes from slave in Slavic languages and it should be banned, etc.
I somewhat agree with either banning all potentially offensive words or none at all, so let's go with none? Otherwise git is now simply gatekeeping offensiveness, and that's absurd.

I do care if someone tries to push this stuff onto me. Changes in Git defaults would break 20 years of compatibility! It is bloody important in Linux development!
And I find it very moronic, that someone who writes "git" on every second line, complains "master" was not renamed.

Of course, there's an xkcd for that : https://xkcd.com/1597/
EVERY new employee arrives saying “Hey I’ve found this great UI for git, this one really nails it and makes git easy” and every time it’s a new Git UI that I’ve never heard of. It’s the “hello world” of startups: Creat their great git UI and publish it.
Then they commit with the default crappy commit messages and they don’t know how to git-rebase-i.
My own ~/.gitconfig looks like this: [alias] co = checkout ci = commit st = status br = branch hist = log --pretty=format:'%h %ad | %s%d [%an]' --graph --date=short type = cat-file -t dump = cat-file -p dft = difftool [tag] sort = version:refname [tar "tar.xz"] command = xz -c [tar "tar.zst"] command = zstd -T0 -c [log] date = iso-local [pull] ff = only [diff] tool = difftastic [safe] directory = * [advice] detachedH…
