This. To avoid the "master" branch on our git to be associated with "slave" I now name new branches "bitch"

There aren't "slaves" in git, though. The term "master" in that context is that of a master copy.

Nope. Bitkeeper used it in the master-slave pairing and the term was carried forward. Gitlab did a whole writeup about it.

It's funny, because a quick online search shows gitlab runs operations in Saudi Arabia. But at least a bunch of idiot westerners get to feel good about themselves 🤷‍♂️
