    Fuck those that use main. If you’re working on a library fork that has main and a project that has master you’re bound to invert the two.

    “What do you mean I can’t checkout main? Oh right, here it’s master…”

    For once that we had a standard, it had to be ruined.

      The standard is now main.

      git checkout ma<tab>

      If you don’t have autocomplete set up for your shell, get it working. If someone has a different branch named ma..., ask if you can delete it, and get your team to adopt a decent branch naming convention.

          …yeah, I already said that if there is another branch starting with those letters it should be deleted. You need a naming convention.

            I really wish to work in a team where people have naming conventions for branches that are concerned about stuff like that. Must’ve been a nice place to work at.

              Whoever named the “final final fixed” one seems to have missed the point of version control. 😑

      I think the reasons was ridiculous. The fact that people didn’t like the word master anymore. But I’m used to it now, so fine, let’s use main. It makes sensitive people feel better.
