+
+## Running the tests
+
+From the terminal, change to the base directory of the exercise then execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test
+```
+
+This will execute the test file found in the `test` subfolder -- a file ending in `_test.exs`
+
+Documentation:
+
+* [`mix test` - Elixir's test execution tool](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html)
+* [`ExUnit` - Elixir's unit test library](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html)
+
+## Pending tests
+
+In test suites of practice exercises, all but the first test have been tagged to be skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
+
+For example:
+
+```elixir
+# @tag :pending
+test "shouting" do
+  assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
+end
+```
+
+If you wish to run all tests at once, you can include all skipped test by using the `--include` flag on the `mix test` command:
+
+```bash
+$ mix test --include pending
+```
+
+Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the file `test/test_helper.exs`.
+
+```elixir
+# ExUnit.configure(exclude: :pending, trace: true)
+```
+
+## Useful `mix test` options
+
+* `test/<FILE>.exs:LINENUM` - runs only a single test, the test from `<FILE>.exs` whose definition is on line `LINENUM`
+* `--failed` - runs only tests that failed the last time they ran
+* `--max-failures` - the suite stops evaluating tests when this number of test failures
+is reached
+* `--seed 0` - disables randomization so the tests in a single file will always be ran
+in the same order they were defined in
+
+## Submitting your solution
+
+You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit lib/username.ex` command.
+This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
+
+- See how others have completed the exercise
+- Request help from a mentor
+
+## Need to get help?

+# German Sysadmin
+
+Welcome to German Sysadmin on Exercism's Elixir Track.
+If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
+If you get stuck on the exercise, check out `HINTS.md`, but try and solve it without using those first :)
+
+## Introduction
+
+## Charlists
+
+Charlists are created using the `~c` Sigil.
+
+```elixir
+~c"hello"
+```
+
+~~~~exercism/note
+Note that in older versions of Elixir, charlists are represented as `'hello'` with single quotes.
+~~~~
+
+Although they look very similar to strings, the two data types are quite different from one another. A charlist is a list of integers. The integers represent the Unicode values of a given character — also known as code points.
+
+```elixir
+[65, 66, 67]
+# => ~c"ABC"
+```
+
+You can prepend a character with `?` to get its code point.
+
+```elixir
+?A
+# => 65
+
+[?:, ?)]
+# => ~c":)"
+```
+
+Because charlist are lists, you can work with them just like with any other list - using recursion and pattern matching.
+
+```elixir
+[first_letter | _] = ~c"cat"
+first_letter
+# => 99
+```
+
+You can concatenate two lists using `++`.
+
+```elixir
+~c"hi" ++ ~c"!"
+# => ~c"hi!"
+```
+
+The longer the first list is, the slower the concatenation, so avoid repeatedly appending to lists of arbitrary length.
+
+## Case
+
+`case` is a control flow structure that allows us to compare a given value against many patterns. Clauses in a `case` expression are evaluated from top to bottom, until a match is found.
+
+```elixir
+age = 15
+
+case age do
+  0 -> ~c"infant"
+  age when age < 4 -> ~c"baby"
+  age when age < 13 -> ~c"child"
+  age when age < 18 -> ~c"teenager"
+  _ -> ~c"adult"
+end
+
+# => ~c"teenager"
+```
+
+## Instructions
+
+You are working as a system administrator for a big company in Munich, Germany. One of your responsibilities is managing email accounts.
+
+You have been hearing complaints from people saying they are unable to write emails to Mr. Müller. You quickly realize that most of the company uses an old email client that doesn't recognize `müller@firma.de` as a valid email address because of the non-Latin character.
+
+Telling people to give up their favorite old email client is a lost battle, so you decide to create sanitized aliases for all email accounts.
+
+## 1. Sanitize existing usernames by removing everything but lowercase letters
+
+Implement the `sanitize/1` function. It should accept a username as a charlist and return the username with all characters but lowercase letters removed.
+
+```elixir
+Username.sanitize(~c"schmidt1985")
+# => ~c"schmidt"
+```
+
+## 2. Allow underscores
+
+Extend the `sanitize/1` function. It should not remove underscores from the username.
+
+```elixir
+Username.sanitize(~c"mark_fischer$$$")
+# => ~c"mark_fischer"
+```
+
+## 3. Substitute German characters
+
+There are 4 non-Latin characters in the German alphabet, and all of them have commonly-recognized Latin substitutes.
+
+| German character | Latin substitute |
+| ---------------- | ---------------- |
+| ä                | ae               |
+| ö                | oe               |
+| ü                | ue               |
+| ß                | ss               |
+
+Extend the `sanitize/1` function. It should substitute German characters according to the table. You can safely assume all usernames are already downcase.
+
+```elixir
+Username.sanitize(~c"cäcilie_weiß")
+# => ~c"caecilie_weiss"
+```
