Claude Code integrates Git status via SessionStart hooks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Developers can now inject Git status information into Claude Code sessions using a SessionStart hook. This allows the AI to automatically know the current branch and file status without manual input. The hook, configured in `.claude/settings.json`, runs a bash command to fetch and display relevant Git details, with suggestions to keep the output concise and handle non-repository scenarios gracefully. This feature complements existing project documentation like CLAUDE.md for stable coding rules. AI
