I find it funny how many ppl complained about it when it came up. Now it is the default on github and other code forges. And now one cares anymore if it is master or main.

Master is still the default branch when you run git init.

Depends on your version of git, I believe.

The latest version from kernel.org still uses master. It's certainly possible for distro maintainers to change it on the versions they package though.

Yeah, seems like I'm wrong. I looked up the docs on git-scm.com and it says that the default branch name is "currently master, but this is subject to change in the future". Maybe GitHub threw me off.
