I didn’t think it would happen this fast, but now when I see a repo with a “master” branch instead of a “main” branch, I immediately check if it’s being maintained. The “master” branch name has become the “boomer branch” 😅

@patricia Huh, master is still the git default when creating a repo. Its only some services like github that have non-standard defaults... It seems new projects created using git on the command line (the way most pros do it) will still tend to use master over main.

You certainly can, but the overwhelming majority of new repos I find dont bother.. if they create it through github it has main, if they create it through the command line interface it has master.. besides that no one cares... Since most people use the command line interface for new repos I find the vast majority of new repos use master still.
