- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

Last place of employment had develop as the default branch. Actually quite liked it. (There also was a main branch, which only got merged into as part of the release flow, so might as well have called it release, I suppose).
Anyway, IMO it communicated "volatile and subject to change" a lot more clearly than things like "head of main" etc

I can work with either, but I cannot and will not forgive any deliberate changes from main to master.
If you have a main and a master branch in the same repo and you don't delete one at the very start of the project, God has abandoned the living bcz we're lost and he has forsaken all that is good in the world.

I did that once... Because a script I worked with was hardcoded for it and was distributed as a binary...

master.
I grew up with master before the master nonsense. It's ingrained in me. So i use that in my projects. Some projects i contribute use main, and i don't give a fuck. It just fucks up my memory muscle - but nothing that an alias doesn't solve.
EDIT: and btw, fuck github.
Whatever the repo is setup with.
master
I grew up with master, and main just feels weird.
I'm naming my production branch goshujin-sama
I honestly donβt know, and Iβm not at my PC to check. I assume itβs main, but with my ADHD Iβve never actually paid attention to that. All I ever remember are my branch names.
Release
No one messes with release for the "final" merge?
After that... Main.
Catch and Kill. Trap and Release. It's slavery all over again! We must fight back!
