Re: Rename offensive terminology (master)

Just to give my view on this (I've been following for a couple days).

I started using git in 2016 so everything I've ever done with git has
a master branch, every tutorial I've followed uses a master branch,
and everyone I've worked with since 2016 is used to using a master
branch.

I don't want to join in a political debate, and I don't see why
politics has to have any impact on non-political software, there is no
technical reason for this change that will eventually impact every
developer that uses git, which is most developers.

Git is a version control software, if someone is using git to manage a
political project, they're free to use a different branch name, but I
don't see why a backend developer working on non-political projects
should be impacted by an unnecessary breaking change.

An example scenario I can see happening (especially to inexperienced
Devs) if the default branch name is changed:

Dev gets a new laptop and installs git, all their projects work as expected.
They create a new project with "git init".
"Where's master?!" "Did I do something wrong? Every other time I've
done that it created a master branch".
