I have successfully (mostly) transitioned from `master` as my git mainline branch name to `latest`. My favorite typo for this new branch is `lastest`. As in `git co lastest`.
@ceejbot Are you able to change the default for newly created repos or do you always have to make a non-master branch manually?
@ceejbot at $DAYJOB we call our main work branch "develop". I've been considering calling mine "messy" for my own personal projects.
