On new development machines I always start with:

```
$ git config --global init.defaultBranch master
```
Why?
Not because of what you think.

Simply put, I won't help US people to cope with their long history of #slavery and systemic #racism.

#USA should always be remembered of their shame, not be allowed to remove their sins from history. Not even `git` history.

Also computer are things, not people. They CAN be used as things and people CAN and SHOULD master computers.

Because in a #cybernetic society, if you do not _master_ the automatisms that surround you, you are going to become a gear yourself, a biologic robot also known as slave.

There is no easy way around this: you either master the automatism or you are enslaved through (NOT "by") them.
