Our review
Pulls the latest configuration from a GitHub repository and automatically merges local and synced settings for Claude.
Strengths
- Automates updating Claude configuration from GitHub
- Intelligently merges synced and local settings without loss
- Handles local changes by stashing them before the pull
- Provides a summary of changes made
Limitations
- Requires prior setup (Git repository and remote) to work
- Can fail due to merge conflicts or network issues
- Only works within the Claude Code environment
Use this command when you want to sync your Claude configuration with the latest version from your GitHub repository.
Avoid using it if you haven't configured the Git repository yet or if you prefer to manage configurations manually.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill runs non-destructive git and bash commands to pull configuration from a user's own GitHub repository and merge settings. It does not use curl, rm, or exfiltration, and relies on user-configured repositories and pre-existing scripts. No obfuscation or disabling of safety features is present.

Pull Configuration
Pull the latest configuration from your GitHub repository and automatically merge settings.
Usage
/claude-github-sync:pull
Configuration Reference
| Item | Path | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| Config file | ~/.claude/sync-config.json | Sync configuration (repo URL, setup method) |
| Git remote | ~/.claude/.git/config | Primary check - git origin remote URL |
| Sync settings | ~/.claude/settings.sync.json | Shared settings (synced to GitHub) |
| Local settings | ~/.claude/settings.local.json | Machine-specific settings (gitignored) |
| Merged output | ~/.claude/settings.json | Auto-merged result of sync + local |
| Merge script | ~/.claude/scripts/merge-settings.mjs | Deep merges sync + local → settings.json |
Instructions
Step 1: Check git remote (primary check)
The sync is configured if ~/.claude has a git remote. Config file (~/.claude/sync-config.json) is optional fallback.
cd ~/.claude
# Primary check: git remote
REPO_URL=$(git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null)
if [ -n "$REPO_URL" ]; then
echo "✅ Remote: $REPO_URL"
else
# Fallback: check config file
CONFIG_FILE="$HOME/.claude/sync-config.json"
if [ -f "$CONFIG_FILE" ]; then
echo "⚠️ Config exists but no git remote"
echo "Run: /claude-github-sync:setup to fix"
exit 1
else
echo "❌ Not configured"
echo ""
echo "Run: /claude-github-sync:setup"
exit 1
fi
fi
Step 2: Pull changes
cd ~/.claude
# Get current branch
BRANCH=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo "main")
# Save current HEAD for change detection
HEAD_BEFORE=$(git rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null)
# Stash local changes if any
STASHED=false
if ! git diff --quiet 2>/dev/null; then
echo "Stashing local changes..."
git stash
STASHED=true
fi
# Pull with rebase
if git pull --rebase origin "$BRANCH" 2>&1; then
echo "✅ Pulled latest configuration"
else
echo "❌ Pull failed"
echo ""
echo "Possible issues:"
echo " - Network connection"
echo " - Merge conflicts (run: git status)"
echo " - Remote branch doesn't exist"
git status --short
fi
# Restore stashed changes
if [ "$STASHED" = true ]; then
echo "Restoring local changes..."
git stash pop
fi
# Show what changed
HEAD_AFTER=$(git rev-parse HEAD 2>/dev/null)
if [ "$HEAD_BEFORE" != "$HEAD_AFTER" ]; then
echo ""
echo "📋 Changes pulled:"
echo ""
echo "--- New commits ---"
git log --oneline "$HEAD_BEFORE..$HEAD_AFTER"
echo ""
echo "--- Files changed ---"
git diff --stat "$HEAD_BEFORE..$HEAD_AFTER"
else
echo ""
echo "📋 No new changes from remote."
fi
Step 3: Merge settings
After pulling, automatically merge sync and local settings.
The merge script can be in multiple locations:
~/.claude/scripts/merge-settings.mjs(user installed)- Plugin's scripts directory (bundled)
cd ~/.claude
# Find merge script in multiple locations
MERGE_SCRIPT=""
# Location 1: User's scripts directory
if [ -f "$HOME/.claude/scripts/merge-settings.mjs" ]; then
MERGE_SCRIPT="$HOME/.claude/scripts/merge-settings.mjs"
fi
# Location 2: Plugin cache (find latest version)
if [ -z "$MERGE_SCRIPT" ]; then
PLUGIN_SCRIPT=$(find "$HOME/.claude/plugins/cache/claude-sync/claude-github-sync" -name "merge-settings.mjs" 2>/dev/null | head -1)
if [ -n "$PLUGIN_SCRIPT" ]; then
MERGE_SCRIPT="$PLUGIN_SCRIPT"
fi
fi
# Location 3: Marketplace source
if [ -z "$MERGE_SCRIPT" ]; then
MARKETPLACE_SCRIPT="$HOME/.claude/plugins/marketplaces/claude-sync/scripts/merge-settings.mjs"
if [ -f "$MARKETPLACE_SCRIPT" ]; then
MERGE_SCRIPT="$MARKETPLACE_SCRIPT"
fi
fi
# Run merge if found
if [ -n "$MERGE_SCRIPT" ]; then
echo ""
echo "Merging settings..."
node "$MERGE_SCRIPT"
else
echo ""
echo "⚠️ merge-settings.mjs not found"
echo " Settings will not be auto-merged"
fi
Step 4: Report result
Show the user what was updated.
echo ""
echo "📊 Current settings files:"
ls -la ~/.claude/settings*.json 2>/dev/null | awk '{print " " $9 " (" $5 " bytes)"}'
