Comment on How to bring back master branch?

Comments

"main" is better than "master" because it's shorter. The noxious politics are irrelevant at this point.

Also it's semantically clearer. I keep `master` as a branch name on my old services because I don't care enough to change it, but for new projects `main` is clearly a better name.
