When branches don't check out... that's a problem.

... Isn't master the current production code? How do you get a master that haven't been touched in 15 years?

I think OP is talking about the fact that most new projects use "main" now, so "master" likely indicates an older project.

Because you have a terrible branching strategy

i was told to change the name of master recently because it carries with it the negative connotation of slavery. ie master/slave

master hasn't been updated in almost 15 years and there's no way in hell i'm going to touch that. lol

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.
