Git master branch

By default, the main branch name in Git is master. Technically, this is not a special branch - it is exactly the same as all other branches. However, it is often used as the main branch of the project, and other branches are made auxiliary, created to solve specific problems and then deleted.

Recently, the name master has often been replaced by main, renaming the main branch of the project. The fact is that the word "master" is translated as "owner" and this is no longer politically correct.
