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.

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 sinceAnthropic'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 problemchangelogsee the edit
Added sinceA 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.
