It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology’s problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

    But why master and slave would be a problem to begin with. I’m still using it in git. I think people that have problem with it must have serious issues. It’s a US American thing. Makes no sense.

        That is going to be solved by making IT nerds pretend to forget the word exists?

        Hunger is also a world wide problem, doesn’t stop me from saying I’m starving!

      well,no. you don’t have a slave branch in git. you could have dev, or staging, or something else. but a slave branch generally won’t make sense.
