is there a way to change the primary environment name (and branch) to a more racially neutral term?

I understand the intent in the software community around the word "master" has nothing to do with race; none-the-less it is unfortunate to have to expose a go live environment to non-technical website stakeholders with a domain containing the easily misconstrued word before a website launch.

  I think that's already possible (though I haven't tested it myself)

  Jeroen is correct. I have converted an existing project's default branch from master to main following the instructions in the article linked.

  Don't really know why, but some of our projects start on the 'main' branch, while some start on 'prod', but none started on 'master'. I believe it might be linked to the branch on your git project when initializing the platformsh project
