Not gonna lie, the master branch thing is problematic but I don’t typically see an issue with it. It’s similar to master bedroom or bath. Kind of fucked up name origin, but I don’t think anyone’s really making a fuss about it.
Whatever the fuck you’re doing though feels like some gross, racist fantasy. It’s really weird, dude. If you think that’s funny you might need to go talk to some real people or touch grass.
You could do that, but I could argue that master/slave nomenclature isnt a good scheme for this anyway, since it doesn’t control any other branches. Unlike master and slave drives from the olden days.
By all means go ahead and keep your naming schemes. It’s your own stuff that after all, that for some reason you felt the need to tell everyone about. However, I might recommend trying to move past it seeing as language has an impact on how people think, and being edgy doesn’t exactly have a good track record of producing the best people.
I always assumed the name was more of a reference to audio Master Recordings.
It’s the original tapes or whatever that all copies are derived from. It’s also where the term “remastering” comes from, as in “we went in and rebuilt a new master from the individual tracks, and this is the new master now”, versus just making another copy of the master for a re-release.
I renamed my master branch
slaveowner. To make it more clear.It is software, my friends. It’s not a tribe of people.

Master bedroom and master bath also have nothing to do with slavery.
Please grow up.

There are no slave branches like there are no slave recordings.
My “master” branch actually does control other branches, as releases are usually made from it, so they all depend on it.
