      In software development the main branch is the version which the clients update to.

      Before pushing updates to the main branch, they should be forked to a test branch.

      Microsoft is pushing out updates without properly testing them, resulting in a lot of avoidable bugs.

        No, the main branch should be at HEAD, and releases ought to be a few commits back, when it was tested and considered stable enough. Maybe that’s the joke, they’re doing it at unstable points.

        Main branch is a common choice for the root fork of a git development repository. It was master, but it is a poor choice when respecting freed men from slavery.

          Right. I was dumbing it right down without overcomplicating it.
