Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @lanslans on GitHub (Aug 8, 2020).
Describe the feature you'd like
When you go to the bookstack front page, the user is automatically logged in to the guest account and does not see the login page.
Bonus, but not necessary: The top-right user link is instead replaced with a "log in" link which logs out the guest account and brings you to a login page. If you don't log in and instead navigate away from this page, it returns you to the guest account.
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Reduce user friction in environments where logging in isn't necessary. Eg: read-only public guest access, or an instance within a LAN for a group that doesn't care about tracking authorship.
Additional context
I'm willing to put in some work to help with this if someone can point me at the right place. That said, I have all of 0 programming experience in PHP.

Log in as an admin user, go to Settings. The first setting at the top is "Allow Public Access" which works exactly as you wish.

Thanks @alexmannuk for providing the answer here.
Once public access is enabled you can then configure permissions against the default public role and guest user to control public visibility.
