356: 792:"Master" here does not reference slavery. It has the same semantics as having a master (that is primary) recording, the one from which all others are copies. This has nothing to do with racism except to a bunch of virtue signaling ignoramuses so intent of "cleansing" our language of content they find, again out of deep ignorance, objectionable, and without any knowledge of the actual meaning or etymology of the words. I personally change "main" back to "master" in my new repositories exactly because the former does _not_ have the same semantics as the latter. 661: 264: 233: 332: 501: 1110:

Talking about limitations WRT binary files would be a good addition. I don't like changing the second phrase/sentence to "generally used for coordinating collaborative work among parties whose work is mostly textual in nature, like source code development" since although not wrong is awkward.

I add "mostly textual in nature" because Git doesn't really work really well with graphics. Why do I say that? Because there is this video game mod I play, follow and contributed to that was shared through GitHub and it took quite a while to download everything and I believe it is because Git doesn't

I agree with all your points, except for I don't consider that section a dumpster fire; a stub section is much better than a non-written section; if I didn't bring this up, it could take longer to someone write a section for both CLI, TUI and GUI
