Hi,

good point … also it tends to upset some people. Most projects settled on 
“main” instead of “master”.
In the PLC4X project however we decided to call the development branch 
“develop” and the banch where we merge releases “release”. This way the 
branches sort of explain what they are themselves ;-)

Subject: [DISCUSS] What is the Master branch currently used for?
Hi all,

We use the `dev` branch as the default branch. But there still exists
the master branch.[0] And it was still updated 21 days ago. I'm
curious about what the master branch is currently used for.

I think it's better to rename the master branch to another name if it
has other usage because it will confuse developers if there is already
a default branch. Sometimes I would accidentally checkout to master
and then realize something was wrong.

What's your thought?
