Tell HN: Claude Code appends new commit signature even if older settings is off

A Hacker News user reported that Claude Code now appends a "Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_xyz" line to git commits by default, even when the older automatic "co-authored by" Claude signature setting is disabled in the user's config. The user, posting as ctxc, called the new default-on behavior "Annoying, feels scummy" and flagged it as a PSA for other developers.

| | | 3 points by ctxc26 minutes ago |hide |past |favorite |discuss | | | | I have the automatic "co-authored by" Claude signature turned off for my commits via the config setting. PSA: They've introduced a new "Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_xyz" line that's appended to the commit now though, on by default. Annoying, feels scummy (of all things, ironic I know) |
