git: Set the default branch to master 
I've always loved how the master branch is called master since it's
comparable to mastering a skill or emphasizing the importance of
something.

Git

Git is the standard version control tool.

Use Cases

Git can be used to:

  • Keep track of file changes over time
  • Keep a record of all contributors to a code base
  • Rollback to a previous version of a project
  • Create snapshots of a project with tags (also known as versions)

You should not use Git if:

  • You are dealing with binary files
  • You are dealing with large files that change often

Usage

First, install diff-so-fancy, an amazing git diff utility.

Then, create a ~/.gituser with the following:

[user]
  name = <the name you use for git commits>
  email = <the email you use for git commits>
  signingkey = <the subkey you use to sign git commits>
