Re: [EXTERNAL] renaming master?

How about just development?

 

We use that  on OODT … though we have a master too that  needs to get
removed …

Subject: [EXTERNAL] renaming master?

 

All,

 

  As you may have seen, there's a movement to rename the "master" branch to

"main" or "trunk" (at least in the U.S.)[1][2].  Github is doing this, and

I personally think this makes sense.

 

  Are there any objections if we change "master"?  If we do change it, is

there a preference for "main", "trunk" or something else?

 

  My personal preference would be for trunk, but I'm open.

 

         Best,

 

                 Tim
