claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Support external project-specific configuration storage in ~/.claude/project-specific/ [4 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Consider modifying Claude to store project-specific configuration information in a separate directory, such as ~/.claude/project-specific/, to keep sensitive data private.

Guidance

• Investigate the current implementation of Claude's configuration storage to understand how it can be modified to support external storage.
• Explore the possibility of adding a configuration option to specify an alternative storage location for project-specific data.
• Determine the required changes to Claude's code to check for external configuration files before storing data in the project directory.
• Consider the security implications of storing sensitive information in a separate location and ensure proper access controls are in place.

Notes

The provided issue lacks specific technical details about Claude's implementation, making it challenging to provide a comprehensive solution. The suggested approach assumes that Claude's code can be modified to support external configuration storage.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify Claude to store project-specific configuration information in a separate directory, such as ~/.claude/project-specific/, to keep sensitive data private. This approach allows for flexible storage of sensitive information while maintaining the ability to commit non-sensitive data to version control.
