“upstream" is now "canon"
"merge" is now "canonize” (@akjcv beat me to it lol)
"fork" and "branch” are now "headcanon”
"rebase" is now "retcon”
"BDFLs exercising control to do dumb shit" are now "George Lucas releasing another special edition”

lol this was a banger

remember that in the US, it's illegal to block you from talking to your coworkers about how much you're getting paid

and if that chat reveals a problem, you have way more power when you band together to make it right, than if only one or two people do the reporting

@QuietMisdreavus @vyr @akjcv "canon" is genuinely a better name for the authoritative branch than either of the ones currently in wide use

@vyr @sarah11918 as a non-user of git, I despise the term "pull request". It does not communicate.
Wtf? Use your (real) words 🙁
