Re: renaming master?
Hi all, Apologies for not being able to be very involved over the past few years, but still trying to follow along and hoping to get time to contribute in the future. Another option might be ‘stable’? - Ray > On Jun 16, 2020, at 1:31 PM, Tim Allison wrote: > > All, > > As you may have seen, there's a movement to rename the "master" branch to > "main" or "trunk" (at least in the U.S.)[1][2].

Re: renaming master?
I prefer not, here some arguments https://dev.to/dandv/8-problems-with-replacing-master-in-git-2hck but if it is done, then "trunk" would be my favourite. it will be scary on the client side: https://twitter.com/xunit/status/1269881005877256192 If this doesn't work, I hope that I can still save the files I've changed, download the whole repository again, and the restore the files.

Github is doing this, and I personally think this makes sense. Are there any objections if we change "master"? If we do change it, is there a preference for "main", "trunk" or something else? My personal preference would be for trunk, but I'm open.

Re: renaming master?
Hi Tim, for me, "main" makes more sense. But, no objection to any other option!
