"trunk" is a relic of the bad old days and reminds me of Subversion. That naming convention needs to stay dead.


I meant "main":

Github: "Starting next month, all new source code repositories created on GitHub will be named "main" instead of "master" as part of the company's effort to remove unnecessary references to slavery and replace them with more inclusive terms. Teams need tools to help them collaborate and stay productive while remotely working."


Fair enough. The "main vs master" argument has been done quite a lot lately, and I'm not going to weigh in on it here.

But it seems a little... tangential... to argue about branch naming in this context, doesn't it?


Honestly my dry sense of humor took a swing and missed. Bigly.


> all new source code repositories

keyword there being "new"
