Telemetry in software projects is a polarized issue: on the one hand it allows developers to improve their work by collecting various metrics, on the other hand - nobody likes to be spied on. The goal of this project is to put you in control. See what data is collected by the tools you use and decide if you want to share it. Then use methods provided here to opt-in or opt-out.
The core of this project is a set of JSON files which describe what telemetry is collected and what can be done to enable or disable it. What you can do with it is only limited by your imagination. Here are several examples to get you started:
If the tool you're using is not here you can easily add it by creating a new JSON file describing its telemetry data channels. Pull requests are welcome!
A lot of software enables telemetry by default unless an environment variable is set. This repository collects telemetry opt-out environment variables from across the web.
