Linux's master branch is actually called master. Not that it really matters either way (hopefully most people have realised by now that it was never really 'non-inclusive' to normal people) but pays to be accurate.

This seems like a dumb thing to be pedantic about, actually

What is meant by inclusive here? I'm having trouble following this comment other than the clarification to the name.

I wish there were strong enough words to tell you about how few shits I give about the name of a branch.

> Not that it really matters either way

But you still decided to make it your personal battle to make a comment remind people that the evil inclusive people did a no no by forcing you to rename your branches from master to main, yes.

>pays to be accurate.

No, it doesn't. Source: you knew exactly what I was talking about when I said main. You also would have known what I was talking about had I said trunk, master, develop or latest.
