RENAME: Recommendation for branch name testing - add CircleCI or update documentation #64

Open kelynch opened 3 years ago

kelynch commented 3 years ago

CircleCI can be used to prevent the recreation of the old default branch name. This helps preserve automatic redirection to the new default branch, and prevents accidentally re-adding the legacy branch from a stale fork. If CircleCI is not integrated with this repository, please do the following:

Rationale

Git's default "master" branch derives from "master/slave" jargon which perpetuates systemic racist language and systems (see email Replacing "master" reference in git branch names). To uphold our Code of Conduct, we must move away from the term "master" in our technical language (as well as words like blacklist or whitelist).
