Hello!
My name is Patricia and I work as a software engineer in Brazil. I
also teach sometimes at Le Wagon, a programming school.
I brought the discussion about changing our repositories' branch to
main instead of master. The response of one of the owners was that
"Git has not changed it, so we will not change". So here I was,
wondering if maybe Git would hear me out :)
Do you have any thoughts on it?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Patricia Camiansky.

There have been a lot of discussions about this topic. You can find
some pointers to them (though maybe not the most recent ones) in the
article "The history of `master` in Git" in:
https://git.github.io/rev_news/2020/07/29/edition-65/
There has been also an official statement by the Conservancy and the
Git PLC (Project Leadership Committee):
