Hints

How to set up a clean environemnt? 🔗

Safe method: use a temporary user account on your computer.

• on macOS:
  • if you are not using FileVault, switch to the "Guest User". You may have to enable this in "System Preferences -> Users & Groups". When you're done, all data will be removed automatically.
  • if you are using FileVault, create a new user in "System Preferences -> Users & Groups". When you're done, you'll need to remove this user manually.
• on Linux:
  • create a new user with sudo useradd -m qa, and log into that account. When you're done, remove the user with sudo userdel -r qa. Note: "qa" is just an example user name, you can choose anything you like

Dangerous method: remove all directories manually.

You can use this script. Make sure you have a backup of your data, or are using this in combination with the safe method (i.e. while logged in with a temporary user account).

How to set up git? 🔗

git config --global user.name "Mona Lisa"
