What is a trunk if not a large branch

[–] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh, that's valid, and forks could be called "asexual propagation"

Cherry picking from one trunk to another could be called grafting.

There is already pruning.

If there is no AI used, it could be called GMO.

I'm not sure if there is a tree analogy for merging trunks together, however.
