What
Claude Code now points you at /web-setup to connect GitHub for running sessions on the web. The one-off tip appears only when the gh CLI is signed in locally, the repo remote is not GitLab or Bitbucket, and the web connection currently reads as not connected.
Details
- A status line reports either "GitHub connected" or "Not set up · /web-setup to connect GitHub".
- The tip is shown once, and uses the GitHub account
ghis already signed in to.
