What
In some sessions, Anthropic sets up access to GitHub through a proxy, a go-between server. Both git and gh, the GitHub command-line tool, are routed through it.
- The code that writes the git settings and the
ghwrapper can now use a standalone proxy at its ownproxyUrl. Before, it always used a local relay athttp://127.0.0.1and a port number. - The safety checks now also reject a proxy URL that contains a quote or a newline. They already did this for the certificate bundle path.
- A new message covers the case where this access could not be set up because
gitandghfail TLS verification against github.com. TLS verification is the check that a secure connection is genuine. The message tells Claude not to turn off TLS verification and not to edit theGIT_CONFIG_GLOBALfile. Instead, Claude should tell you GitHub is unavailable.
Why
Managed GitHub access can work without a local relay. If it breaks, Claude reports the problem instead of weakening connection security to work around it.
