<H1>My opinions on git stuff</H1>

<HR size="1" width="25%" align="left" />
|

<P>
|
||||
A lot of the Web (or, at least, the web <I>I</I> follow, which is a bunch of
|
||||
weirdos with fringe beliefs that affect almost nothing in the real world,
|
||||
except for when they do, which nearly always ends horribly*) seems to be fussed
|
||||
about GitHub's recent (as of now, though it was a long time coming) decision to
|
||||
make the default git branch `main` rather than `master`. Do I agree with this
|
||||
decision myself? Of course! A very nice person on the website
|
||||
<A href="http://twitter.com">Twitter.com</A> explained this to me in the
|
||||
following way that made me finally understand it: If you're a black person
|
||||
whose ancestors were freed from the shackles of slavery a couple generations
|
||||
ago, you shouldn't still be pushing your work to master. And there are
|
||||
counter-arguments to this too; <I>the git master doesn't represent a
|
||||
master/slave relationship!</I>, <I>etymologically it doesn't make a whole lot
|
||||
of sense!</I>. Yeah? It's just sensitivity, really. I'm going to make my main
|
||||
git branches main because I want my projects to be accessible to all those that
|
||||
want to help - and a part of this is accepting changes to common practice that
|
||||
are made in good faith. Also because main is a better term anyway in my opinion
|
||||
because it's more descriptive and because 4 characters are faster to type than
|
||||
6.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
"<I>Where does it end?</I>" is a question I hear a lot. I'm not the one to ask.
|
||||
Our words have a greater meaning than we know. I'm sure in fifty years many of
|
||||
my opinions will be "products of their time" - and good! They are. In the
|
||||
nineteenth century the goal was to free the slaves (a goal not yet realized),
|
||||
in the twentieth century the goal was to have equality between men and women
|
||||
(not yet realized) of all colors (not yet realized). In the twenty first
|
||||
century we're now (some more keenly than others) aware of the LGBT+ community,
|
||||
being the community of those with non-standard identities and romantic/sexual
|
||||
orientations, and the importance of protecting the rights its individuals have.
|
||||
What's going to happen in the twenty second century? Who are we oppressing <I>
|
||||
right now</I> - who am <I>I</I> oppressing right now? I don't know. Time will
|
||||
tell if you listen for it.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
This whole blag rant was much deeper than I intended for it to be, but I feel
|
||||
comfortable with my opinion. If I'm wrong I'm wrong in areas in which I meant
|
||||
well, and that's good enough.

||||
