I noticed that the development.md file uses the term master in step 4 under the Recommended Setup for WordPress Coding Standards section. The term master is being phased out in favor of more inclusive language, such as main. The file should be updated to reflect this change.
File: development.md
Location: Recommended Setup for WordPress Coding Standards, Step 4
Current Text: "Clone the official WordPress Coding Standards repository in your home folder and ensure you are using its master branch." to check whether the cloned repository uses the main branch use this git checkout main
Suggested Change: Update master to main in alignment with modern terminology.
Reproduction
Open the development.md file.
Scroll down to the Recommended Setup for WordPress Coding Standards section.
Locate step 4, which mentions the master branch.
Expectation
The text should reference the main branch instead of master.
