CLI Privacy: Opt-out of third-party tracking in your terminal.

It's becoming more common for software makers to track how people use their

software in private, often without the user's knowledge. Some provide a way to

opt-out, but there's no universal standard for doing so. To opt-out across

every tool requires digging through documentation, and modifying your shell

configuration.

`cli-privacy` aims to aggregate that app-specific opt-out knowledge in one

place. Install and configure `cli-privacy` once, and it will automatically opt

you out of behavioral tracking across a growing list of third party tools.

## Installation

### With Homebrew

1. Run `brew install rfletcher/cask/cli-privacy`.

2. Add `source /usr/local/bin/cli-privacy` to your shell's init file. (For

   example `.bash_profile` or `.zprofile`.)

### Manually

1. [Download](https://github.com/rfletcher/cli-privacy/releases) the latest

   release.

2. Extract the `cli-privacy` script to any directory you like.

3. Add `source /path/to/cli-privacy` to your shell's init file. (For

   example `.bash_profile` or `.zprofile`.)
