DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Reference / Environment variables

CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH

A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle. It has been in the build since v2.1.138, including the newest one read.

What it is

Windows only: path to the Git Bash executable (bash.exe). Use when Git Bash is installed but not in your PATH. If the path doesn't exist or the file isn't named bash.exe, sh.exe, bash, or sh, Claude Code ignores the variable and auto-detects Git Bash as if it were unset, logging a warning visible with --debug. Before v2.1.219, Claude Code exited at startup when the path didn't exist, and used any existing file as the shell without checking that it was bash or sh. See [Windows setup](/docs/en/setup#set-up-on-windows)

A row reading never mined is a release with no archived bundle behind it. Nothing was read out of it, so nothing here says whether the name was in it. A declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.
