Master Memes

Different motivations, same git commit. When GitHub changed default branch names from "master" to "main" in 2020, people had opinions . Some argued historical connotations, others just wanted technical consistency. Meanwhile, this developer's over here with the galaxy brain take that branch hierarchy is a social construct. Every branch deserves equal rights to be merged, cherry-picked, or abandoned in development limbo.

The greatest unintended consequence of Git's 2020 branch rename has to be this spectacular double entendre. Someone finally said what we were all thinking about our commit history! Four characters saved and one awkward conversation with HR avoided. Next up: replacing "fork" with "copy" because some of us can't be trusted with utensils either.
