Claude Code v2.1.242

Claude Code's git commands no longer recurse into submodules

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Git Safety

Git commands Claude Code runs stay in the outer repo and no longer recurse into submodules.

What

Every git command Claude Code runs itself now passes submodule.recurse=false, alongside the existing safe.bareRepository=explicit, so operations in a repo with submodules stay in the outer repo.

Evidence

submodule.recurse=false

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
