Purge all Google Chrome user data on a Mac
In Google Chrome you can easily purge browsing data including cookies, history, etc using the application preferences. But there are still a bunch of files that it doesn’t touch.

Deleting all browsing data made no difference so I needed to really poke under the hood to delete all data.

Clear a 301 redirect from Google Chrome
Google Chrome caches 301 redirects for a long time.

It turned out that I had rules in my global gitignore so this post documents where to look when you get this error.
