Community Q&A
- QuestionHow do I stop the terminal from starting automatically when I start up my computer?
Community AnswerYou can either use a software like the program "Clean my Mac" or you can put the program in your dock. When in dock, you can right click (or hold the left click button) and press ''alternatives'.' From there you may navigate to the button saying "open" on "login." If you press that button, the terminal won't open anymore.
