When you add one that lives in a GitHub repository (fetched over HTTPS) or in any other git repository, Claude Code makes a copy of that repository on your machine. The step that makes this copy now also receives the path value from the marketplace's source settings. Before this change, that step received no path.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe change applies only to marketplaces that point at a particular location inside a repository. For those, the download step now has the path available, where before it did not.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
