Claude Code v1.0.59

New Features

Checkpointing System 🆕

Claude Code now automatically saves checkpoints of your work during sessions, providing a safety net for your changes.

  • Automatic checkpoint creation: Claude Code creates incremental snapshots of your codebase as you work
  • Shadow Git repository: Checkpoints are stored in .claude/checkpoints/ using Git for efficient version tracking
  • Opt-out option: Disable checkpointing by setting the environment variable CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CHECKPOINTING
  • Configuration: New checkpointingEnabled setting (enabled by default)

Usage: Checkpoints are created automatically in the background. No user action required.

# To disable checkpointing:
export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CHECKPOINTING=true
