Ignore the per-machine Claude Code settings file - #53
Merged
Conversation
.claude/settings.local.json records which tool invocations a developer has approved on their own machine. It is not tracked on origin and should not become tracked: it is machine state, it grows as they work, and it had already been committed locally once without anyone deciding to publish it. Ignored by name rather than ignoring .claude/ wholesale, so a shared settings.json or a checked-in skill can still be committed on purpose. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
