Vscode: The default branch of this repo should not be called Master but Main since "master" is linked to slavery

Created on 22 Dec 2019  路  7Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode

Hello,

I'm happy to find I didn't find anything related to master/slave in the code itself of VSCode, but the name of the branch itself is "master", which make sense since it's the default name git gives.

But as 2020 approaches, it would be nice to be able to move on to a brighter future and stop using this kind of vocabulary.

Have a nice Christmas.

Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.

He think it's funny to imitate this.

I agree, "master" sounds quite offensive to me.
