You must respect robots and tests suits, please, just exit with error and return non zero.

Easy way how to repeat:

cd
cd .config
mv pijul pijul1
cd ~/pijul-tests
./braid.sh

It’s not hard to automate setting up an identity. This is how I do it here:

export HOME=$(mktemp -d)
export EDITOR=true
pijul identity new --no-link --no-prompt --display-name 'Test User' --email 'test@example.com'

(not sure if you need to set EDITOR)
