How does the Claude Code settings hierarchy work?

Settings merge in order of priority: User-level (~/.claude/settings.json) is lowest, followed by Project-level (.claude/settings.json), and Local overrides (.claude/settings.local.json) are highest.

Should I commit my Claude settings to Git?

You should commit .claude/settings.json to share project-wide permissions with your team, but you should add .claude/settings.local.json to your .gitignore for machine-specific overrides.

Why are my shell operators like '&&' or '|' being blocked?

For security, Claude Code blocks dangerous operators in permission patterns to prevent command injection. To run compound commands safely, use a wrapper script and allow the script path instead.

What is the difference between allow and deny permissions?

The 'allow' array lists tools and patterns that can run without prompts, while 'deny' lists patterns that are always blocked. Note that 'deny' rules always take precedence over 'allow' rules.

How do I create a wildcard for a specific command?

Use the syntax ToolName(command prefix *). For example, Bash(npm run *) allows all npm run commands but will still prompt for other npm actions like install or audit.
