Persistence in the Construct Desktop

Course Support Git and GitHub Basics
1

I was wondering if there is any way to persist settings in our web-based desktops? It seems that every time I launch the Desktop [Start the course] (in Phase 1: Git and Github, at least) I have to re-enter my:
git config --global user.name <name>
and
git config --global user.email <email>

settings. I also have to generate a new ssh key and add it into github each time I log back in.

Is there a proper way to shut down the Desktop to preserve the environment?
Thanks,
~dave

It depends on where you are doing the settings. In theory, everything you have in your /home/user should be persisted. Anything outside it, or anything bigger than 2GB, will not be persisted.

Also, don’t do git config --global, as I’m not sure this will work, because you only own your workspace, not the entire machine. Instead do the config in each repository.
