There’s no “slave” convention in git so I’m not sure how it can be considered an issue (I get that drives being master and slave is a bit icky). But then, what is it a master of?
As others have said, “trunk” would have been a more sensible replacement.
It’s about master copy. You have a master copy, and you have the development copies that are a copy of the master which is where you make your changes.
If i had to guess, the problem is that people don’t know how to use git and develop in the master
It’s a master the same way that an original recording (the final version before mass reproduction) is called a master; mixing and processing the raw media clips into such a recording is called mastering. It’s a convention that has existed long before computers were a thing.
There’s an actual response to the issue at hand in that link; man didn’t just decide to drop a meme and peace out (though I probably would’ve assumed that was the case if it wasn’t for the edit)
