claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Compound bash commands (cd && git show) not matching allow list patterns [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by modifying the allow list patterns to account for compound bash commands using && or by splitting the compound command into individual commands that match the existing allow list patterns.

Guidance

• Review the settings.json allow list patterns to determine if they can be modified to support compound bash commands using &&.
• Consider splitting the compound command into individual commands, such as running cd and git show separately, to see if they are auto-approved individually.
• Verify that the additionalDirectories setting is correctly configured and that the target directory is included.
• Test the pattern matcher with a simpler compound command to determine if it is specific to the cd and git show commands or a general issue with &&-chained commands.

Example

No specific code snippet is provided, but an example of a modified allow list pattern could be Bash(cd * && git *), although this may not be a valid or supported pattern.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation of the pattern matcher in Claude Code, which is not fully described in the issue. Additionally, modifying the allow list patterns or splitting the compound command may have security implications that should be carefully considered.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as splitting the compound command into individual commands, as this is a more straightforward and potentially safer solution than modifying the allow list patterns.
