I don’t think it’s very sensible to keep user data in a local environment. User data can be removed afterwards by using wp-cli commands, but could this step be automated when importing the database into the local environment?
I would suggest the following:
- When doing pulling database, there could be a checkbox checkbox to sanitize user data (by default I recommended it to be true)
- All users should be deleted and replaced with a single local user.
- All articles could be assigned to this local user.
- All comments could be assigned to this local user or deleted.
- All email addresses should be cleaned or replaced with, for example, example@example.com.
