I am still salty that git master was renamed to main... I mean, the rename is stupid, but when you remain it, why not bough? Bough was the obvious and perfect choice...

That I had to google for your used definition is why. Trunk would be plausible.

Yes you branch off of trunk. Trunk was the main branch in TFVC and maybe others, Linus may have wanted it to be different.

there's a setting in git to set the default branch to master for all new git repos you make. I did that and now I can just keep going like nothing ever happened

up until gitlab/GitHub stop viewing master as the dominant branch I guess, and cite "it's irrelevant now, you should've updated you dinosaur"

at any rate DEI is now a negative finance sentiment. so by all accounts we might move back to master. ESG ratings were removed from S&P 500 and those big corpos ages ago. now if a company mentions that stuff they're considered risky to invest in. the political thing has run its course

Had to merriam-webster the thing over here.
