Version Controlling Claude Code Global Configuration

Use this skill when users want to version control their ~/.claude directory to sync settings across machines.

Critical Understanding

The ~/.claude directory contains both portable settings and machine-specific data. Not everything should be version controlled.

Safe to Version Control

• CLAUDE.md - Global instructions
• settings.json - User preferences (only contains enabled plugin names)
• Documentation files you create (README, PLUGINS.md)

NEVER Version Control
