Every project at my company has switched to "main", and many OSS projects I hack on have as well. Having to remember which one uses "main" and which one uses "master" is annoying and I constantly have to double check when I am push/pull'ing. It would be nice if Ruby switched for me to avoid this issue, but I reckon that is not so easy task. Just for reference, we have switched from trunk to master before (see #15843), so we have some experience with how to do this. ---------------------------------------- Misc #17828: Deprecate use of master and slave https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/17828#change-91733 * Author: yyoshida.at.work@gmail.com (Yasuhiro Yoshida) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal ---------------------------------------- In light of organizations like Basecamp and GitHub refraining from using words like "master" and "slave," it may be a good time for Ruby Core team to follow the practices. I also feel that this issue has been discussed before, and there may already be plans in place as it's a nice thing to do and there is a lot to cover that may require concerted efforts by the whole team. It would be nice if I could learn them and maybe contribute to the task. For now, I am thinking maybe I can start working on most of the documentations, comments, and even tests that have the terminology but wouldn't affect the code that is run in production. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
