claude auth login now accepts the OAuth code pasted directly into the terminal when the browser callback can't reach localhost. That covers WSL2, SSH sessions, and containers, where the redirect to a local port doesn't work. The same release also fixes login timeouts on slow or proxied connections and in IPv6-only devcontainers.

Sign in, then paste the code from the browser:

claude auth login

Delete all Claude Code state for a project: transcripts, tasks, file history, and the project's config entry. Supports --dry-run to preview, -y/--yes to skip confirmation, -i/--interactive to choose, and --all to clear every project.

Preview what would be removed:

claude project purge --dry-run

Then run it for real:

claude project purge

When you create a pull request with gh pr create, Claude Code links it to the session that produced it. Now you can get back to that session from the PR URL alone, without remembering its name.

Open the session picker:

> /resume

Paste the PR URL into the picker. The first character of the paste drops you into search mode, and the list filters to the session that created that PR. Press Enter to resume it. GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, and Bitbucket pull and merge request URLs all work.

https://github.com/your-org/your-repo/pull/1234

To skip the picker, pass the PR number on the command line instead:

claude --from-pr 1234

Git for Windows is no longer required. When Bash is absent, Claude Code uses PowerShell as the shell tool, and when the PowerShell tool is enabled it is treated as the primary shell. PowerShell 7 installed via the Microsoft Store, MSI without PATH, or a .NET global tool is now detected automatically.
