I use main instead of master on git, but what's the substitute to slave? Especially in master/slave setups like you have 1 processor controlling a bunch of measuring equipment for example.

I've seen controller/worker which seems pretty descriptive

Manager/wageslave 😁😌😒

It's not easy.

Master in git is like master record, nothing to do with slaves

It sure is, it's the master branch that rules over all other branches.

Honestly, master/slave sounds so much better. But, well, slavery has been abolished centuries ago in my country, unlike the US
