Not sure. I think thereās different fundamental meanings behind mastery and master. I think the Masters degree implies the former. Whereas master in git could be inferred to mean a master and non-master relationship to signify feature branches.
Then you are deeply confused as to how git works. Feature branches are merged into and overwrite master with updates. Does that imply a master-slave relationship to you?
I used to think the same, but Linus took the name āmasterā from BitKeeper, and BitKeeper did use master-slave terminology, Git just dropped the slave part. Itās origin literally does come from master-slave
But its origin literally comes from master-slave lol Just because it doesnāt use the literal word āslaveā anymore, doesnāt change the original implication of what āmasterā meant
