> GitHub uses "main"

Amid the currently fashionable trend of language culling, I was mildly surprised to find myself agreeing with this particular change: In git, I think "main" is a better choice than "master", because it more accurately and succinctly reflects the intent.

(In general, though, I think the trend is misguided and counterproductive.)
