Replace "master" branch with racially neutral term for the primary environment

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
