What

Claude Code includes built-in guidance about its settings. That guidance now explains how to hide all attribution, which is the credit Claude Code adds to commits and pull requests. Set commit and pr to "" and sessionUrl to false.

It also warns against writing "attribution": false. Use the object form instead, because older Claude Code versions reject true or false there and then skip the whole settings file.

Why
