At least on Android you can disable most animation in the Developer Settings app. I'm guessing how much that affects individual apps varies wildly, however.
I set three options for animation to 0/disabled in there. Phone felt much faster but it took me a couple weeks to realise why Blackberry's swishy "you're plugged in, want to fast charge? or transfer data?" semicircle popup was no longer appearing.
No way to transfer data without reenabling one of the options.
You can already configure the author name/email per repo with `git config`[0]. It seems that the intent of this script is to simply to remind you if you forget to do that.
