I guess it was inevitable. Next I suppose they'll rewrite it in Rust and festoon git-scm.org with the pride progress and Ukraine flags.
> Next I suppose they'll rewrite it in Rustno need to suppose, it's was in the news
>>107576407>wake up bro it's 2020most people have been using "main" for a while now. also you can just rename to "master" if you want, this doesn't matter at all
>>107576407You're mentally ill.
>>107576464I read that they were integrating Rust and making it a hard dependency, not doing a full rewrite.
>>107576480Right. I'm the mentally ill one, not the people who want to change perfectly suitable technology terms because muh slavery.
>>107576493retarded troll, who gives a shit. this is very old news. also master/slave doesn't really make sense (isn't used) in the context of git anyway, "main" just makes more sense
>>107576519If "slave" isn't used in git, why change master?
>>107576558because master implies master/slave relationship... dumbass
Just fork it, all they are doing is replacing one trivial function at a time, it's all Rust people ever do. So just, keep Git 2.whatever around.Or use CVS, which works great to this day.
>>107576578If "slave" isn't a concept in git, how does using master imply slavery?
>>107576578saaaaaarrrhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_recording
>>107576407Just run git config --global init.defaultBranch master and never think about it again.
>>107576407i will just name it master and dev branrh slave thengo ahead sue me
>>107576578Couldn't it imply master/student relationship thoughbeit??
>>107577138that doesnt even make sense, it would be teacher/student and that also doesnt apply to this context. No one calls their teacher "master" except for fucking jedi from star wars.
>>107577112That's a good idea. I'll name branches slave1, slave2, etc.
>>107577173Finally a good compromise, we'll use master and padawan branches.
>>107577173Master/disciple?? I'M ESL??!?!
>>107577193>we'll use master and padawan branches.unironically would be kino
My default branch name is and always has been dev. It's shorter and you can type it with one hand.
>>107577206That's important when you're spankin' it to porn on your 2nd monitor.
>>107576864it doesn'tbut changing it will certainly show them fascists who's boss
desu "master" was always confusing but I suppose for some people this is like changing blacklist/whitelist to blocklist/allowlistit's one of those things that doesn't really matter at all but causes mindbroken politics obsessed people to get angry
>>107577173if a goddess taught me kung fu she would totally be my "master"
>>107576578based master baiter
>>107577484If it doesn't matter at all, then why change it? Why does a minority of deranged people have such huge amount of power to make such changes?
>>107577545>Why does a minority of deranged people have such huge amount of power to make such changes?Probably because (You) let them :-)
>>107576864well you've already proven yourself retarded by caring about something this silly, but to put it another way how would "main" NOT make it clearer that it's not related to a master/slave relationship? this is besides the fact "main" branch is simply more intuitive and natural-sounding for most users, and it's less characters to type. there's several valid reasons the switch to "main" makes sense other than bullshit political reasons. but if you really must be a contrarian you're still free to name your branches however you like
>>107576407every time a post like this is made humanity's average iq drops another point
>>107577493>goddess teaching kung fudamn that's fucking epic
>>107577545The reason the situation seems incredibly oppressing to you is because of your misunderstanding of social dynamics and incorrect attribution of events to people or things.You incorrectly assume that "the left" or some other boogeyman is making the changes and is doing so to gain more power (which would result in you having less power). What is instead happening is confirmation bias: you look for evidence for the things you already believe in and seek to strengthen those beliefs. This in turn makes the boogeyman look ever more menacing and evil.In reality, there is no boogeyman and no evil. You yourself choose how much you want to participate in and involve yourself in the game of good vs evil.
>>107577605every time a post like this is made humanity's average iq drops another pointi didn't forget the >
>>107577589>to put it another way how would "main" NOT make it clearer that it's not related to a master/slave relationship?why would any mentally healthy, reasonable person see the word master in a context where it's not being contrasted with slavery and automatically get triggered by associating it with an institution that died in the developed world in the mid-19th century?nobody who gets in their fee fees about this has ever been a slavetheir parents weren't slavestheir grandparents weren't slavesunless they come from exceptionally long-lived stock, their great-grandparents weren't even slaves
>>107576407it’s not that big of a deal desu
>>107576407ok
>>107576578>master implies master/slave relationship
>>107576407"main" is faster to type than "master", so i don't care
>>107577794"m" is faster to type than "main"why didn't they just change it to "m"?
>>107577842"m" isn't descriptive
>>107577842Because then people might think it's short for master.
>>107576578 maybe you should get stripped down from your rights
>>107577677All that just to say you want those leftist freaks to control everything.
fortunately, troons are too stupid to do hardware, so we will always have things like MISObesides, the master/slave designation is actually appropriate in that case based on how the hardware interacts
>>107576407>unprompted seething at ukraineyou are aware that you can't monetize engagement on 4chan, right, pajeet?
>>107577495>baiterwishful thinking
>>107577677You're either a massive midwit or a lying faggot. Do you not remember how many absolutely minor things would get people cancelled and fired from their job, and all of them started with these small "oh why does it matter" changes. Once they make it the standard, you now have to justify not changing it. You suddenly become famous and then people start looking through your repos and make you still having master a controversy.No one likes you because you have the audacity to behave absolutely horrendously and then once culture shifts back a little bit you pretend like none of it happened.
>>107577677This + "the top 0.1% is the real enemy"I think main is more descriptive given what git actually does. But git has some weird naming conventions so who cares, it's already a mess.
>>107576470>>107577746>>107577794Leaving it at master would be faster than having two standards, now if I'm on a different branch for a repo I have to do the goy walk over to github to see which branch I should switch to to go back to the "main" branch
Main is unironically a better name than master though, because there's no master-slave relationship, just main and others.
>>107576407woah git branch names? real shit! kys
>>107576486I wonder who benefits from this? https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-45405
I hate virtue signaling, no slave ever had issues with branches being called master.
I switched all of my branches from master to massa to remove any reasonable doubt that I meant master copy rather than how you should address me when emailing me about your shitty issue that I will not fix, NIGGER.
Damn woke 2.0 really is here, a couple years ago this thread would have 200 replies and already be spammed with holocaust denial propaganda
>>107578743Holocaust did happen, we're just not satisfied, Hitler didn't go hard enough.
>>1075784232edgy5me
>>107576470“Main” is already used for the main methods of languages. Usually, we try to keep names different in the broader SWE namespace. Also, not using the term “master” because some guy 300 years ago called someone else “master” is as dumb as middle easterners declaring jihads for stuff that happened while the Romans still existed.
>>107578775Also the term "master" implies caring, that's why modern employment is completely without that word.
>>107578785>master implies caring
>>107579011that screencap is ebin
>>107579011>>come_home_slaveor you could keep paying rent to your jewish landlord
>>107576407linus likes rust, what do you expect?
>>107576602>Just fork itpeople like op can't code; that's why they are complaining instead of being the ones who take the decision.
>>107576864other branches are not as important as master, therefore slave
>>107576602>>107579047what's even the usecase of this? Git is already complete software and doesn't need more updates.And even then, Linus Torvalds is trooning out hard, I'm considering moving back to CVS, I wish I never left, just like C, I keep trying to leave and always come back, because it's always the same, without troons.
>>107576486an independent implementation in rust already exists (gitoxide/gix). there are other independent implementations too. hell, libgit2 (independent, C) might be more used than git (the reference impl) itself.it never stops to astonish me how tech illiterate the average /g/eet is. it's like the other day when /g/eets "discovered" arti despite it existing for years. not only that, but being probably the top posted topic in tor's blog all that time. oh, and the fact that it's a parallel implementation, not a "rewrite" was probably also lost. lol.
>>107577677It was literally a power move by spiteful mutants
>>107579140And already had a RCE last year. Rust is great!
>>107577206Not everyone devs in the master though, but has a dev branch to test merged features, so is unstable whilst the master is a stable releasable state
>>107579308>Not everyone is intelligent.
