New message explains how to connect GitHub when a cloud session needs to clone a repo

What

When a cloud or remote session needs to clone a repository but no GitHub account is linked to your Claude account, Claude Code now shows a dedicated message explaining this and pointing you to the fix: /web-setup if your local CLI already has a GitHub login, or the web connect-github page otherwise.

Why

This gives a clearer, more direct path to resolving a missing GitHub connection when a cloud operation like cloning a repository needs one, rather than a generic failure.

What the documentation says
/web-setup Claude Code changelog modified, high confidence * Fixed `/autofix-pr` and other cloud-session commands saying to retry or install the Claude GitHub App when no GitHub account is connected; they now point to `/web-setup` or the web connect page see the edit
/web-setup Use Claude Code on the web modified, high confidence | **`/web-setup`** | Run `/web-setup` in your terminal to send your local `gh` CLI token to your Claude account | Any repository your `gh` token can access, whether or not the App is installed | Individual developers who already use `gh` | see the edit

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up /web-setup, on Claude Code changelog. * Improved `/web-setup` errors: a refused GitHub token now lists the likely reasons and the fix, and a connection failure names a configured proxy or TLS certificate problem changelog see the edit
Added since A small documentation edit on Get started with Claude Code on the web touched a line naming /web-setup after this was published. If you already use the GitHub CLI (`gh`), you can set up Claude Code on the web from your terminal. This requires the [Claude Code CLI](/docs/en/quickstart). On Team and Enterprise plans, `/web-setup` is available only after an Owner turns… web-quickstart see the edit
