Use master as a branch name for your projects if you want, no one will stop you. But really consider if you believe "master" is a better name than "main" for the main branch of your repository. Like, imagine you're creating git today and need a default name for the main branch: is "master" the first name that comes to your mind? is it "main"? is it something else? This is the question you have to answer in good faith.

Main, and I promise you, is not it. Trunk? Maybe. master is on the top of the list. I was never opposed to folks using trunk (years before PC stuff).
