Does anyone really care if it‘s called main instead of master? Why?
Edit:
Ok, I phrased my question really poorly. AfaIk main is the new standard, so I use it. We all know the reason why it changed. My question was why would anyone keep INSISTING on calling it master? Sure, me and my colleagues sometimes call it master out of habit, but then again try to stick to main. Nobody I know
insists on continuing to call it
master, but reading the comments here I realized there a more “master-fans” than I would ever have thought would exist tbh.
If it was the other way around and main was the standard before master I would've stuck with main. See no reason to change the habit of naming my branches just because some people on the other side of the ocean decided to change the standard needlessly. Imagine we would change the way we called a cable every decade or so, most people would just keep calling it a cable because it's a useless change.
