    Yes exactly. It’s a reference to the recording industry’s practice of calling the final version of an album the “master” which gets sent for duplication.

      In alignment with this, we should not replace the master branch with the main branch, we should replace it with the gold branch.

      Every time a PR gets approval and it’s time to merge, I could declare that the code has “gone gold” and I am not doing that right now!

        Merged -> gone gold

        Deployed -> gone platinum

        Gone a week without crashing production -> triple platinum
