Github is an American company acquired by Microsoft which is an American company. Feel free to name your branches whatever is appropriate to your cultural context
Just because it's incorporated and registered in america make it an american company? That's not how internet works. If you have international community you should respect it as an international body.
You're kinda the problem I mentioned in my OP: "Everything is american! hur dur" ugh ๐คฎ
Literally that's exactly what this means. Company incorporated in country X is a country X company. Why are you so upset that they've made this semantic decision which will likely barely affect you?
No that's not what it means. For example if country services France it has to obey French laws, the "incorporated location" is completely irrelevant for anything but taxing. Same way if you serve mutli-cultural user base you shouldn't be forcing everyone to follow single country's culture.
