Replace "master" by "main" #20

Closed kwenzig closed 3 years ago

kwenzig commented 3 years ago

Perhaps it is a good idea to replace master by main.

This topic is discussed here: https://www.wired.com/story/tech-confronts-use-labels-master-slave/

larsvilhuber commented 3 years ago

There is no master branch in this repository, nor is there a main branch.

kwenzig commented 3 years ago

The template suggests to use master.do-files.

Here is another report on this topic: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/06/12/tech-industry-has-an-ugly-master-slave-problem/

Thank you for clarifying. Must of the discussion has been about "master" branches.

I do note that the particular problem is one of English language networking technology.

I suggest making a pull request and clarifying that it is about the script to run all other scripts.
