Good PR! LGTM 👍

I just noticed that this PR is pointing to the wrong branch. Since it’s not a bug fix it should target develop. @brunowowk would you mind to switch target branch and in case rebase?

Small documentation nitpick but looks solid! 🚢

Thank you for the contribution and the patience, very good work! LGTM

Add the Scope::clearUser method to clear user context. (#929)

this seems to not have been part of the PR - what is the recommended way now to set a user to specific value without merging?

[ste93cry]

If you mean how you can remove an item from the root of the user context, there is no way to do it now. If you need to push some data and clear it after some operation finished the recommended way is to use a new scope with \Sentry\withScope

So, how I need to set up user data when I try to initialize Sentry manualy in my project ?

It depends on what you are trying to do. Please take a look at the documentation, and if something is not clear feel free to open a new issue and/or write to the support
