What

Claude Code can now look up a GitHub token, the credential that lets it act on GitHub for you. It checks, in order:

It skips gh when that tool's config folder has no hosts.yml or config.yml, since there is then no login to read.

Checks on git worktrees (extra working copies of a repository) also changed: errors now say which config file included another.

Why

If you already have a GitHub token in your environment or are logged in with gh, Claude Code can pick it up without separate setup.
