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.

Claude Code v2.1.248

Git subprocesses no longer prompt or inherit your git config

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Git Integration

Git commands Claude runs can't prompt you for credentials or trust unknown SSH hosts anymore.

What

Git commands run by Claude Code now start from a scrubbed environment rather than inheriting yours. Terminal prompting is disabled, the credential helper is blanked, the Windows credential manager is set to non-interactive, and SSH runs with BatchMode=yes and StrictHostKeyChecking=yes. A repo's own hooks path is also checked against /dev/null.

Details
  • The rev-parse call now passes an option that stops the parent environment being extended into the child.
  • Effect: a git operation that would have blocked waiting for a password or a host-key confirmation now fails fast instead of hanging.
Evidence

core.sshCommand=ssh -o BatchMode=yes -o StrictHostKeyChecking=yes

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