SSH Start Directory Setting

What

SSH remote configurations now support a startDirectory field to set the default working directory on the remote host.

Usage
{
  "sshRemotes": {
    "my-server": {
      "host": "example.com",
      "startDirectory": "~/projects"
    }
  }
}
Details
  • Supports tilde expansion (e.g., ~/projects)
  • If not specified, defaults to the remote user's home directory
  • Can be overridden by the [dir] positional argument in claude ssh <config> [dir]
Evidence

SSH start directory setting (search for "startDirectory", "Default working directory on the remote host")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
