Hard to give much credit to @github for this when they could have just dropped ICE as a customer and really stood for something, like not putting kids in cages or forcing hysterectomies on women. It’s a vanity fix for broken leadership. https://t.co/rMSp6gppM0

“Starting next month, all new source code repositories created on GitHub will be named "main" instead of "master" as part of the company's effort to remove unnecessary references to slavery and replace them with more inclusive terms.” https://t.co/j4vQQUDZlN

Github still contracts with ICE. Their parent company, Microsoft, still contracts with ICE. This month ICE deported a key witness in a sexual assault case, and a whistleblower said women have been sterilized against their will in ICE detention. https://t.co/3MDlheB8HB

Does @ApacheSolr has plans for #solr #master #slave architecture name references too ??
Defaults matter and @github agrees, changing the default repo name from `master` to `main`! #NeutralJargon https://t.co/yrqsWLdBK4 https://t.co/vrlyrFEH5I

If you are using @github, consider the new naming conventions when creating new repos: Use "main" instead of "master".
