setup

Configure Claude Code integration for whogitit.

Usage

whogitit setup

Description

The setup command performs one-time global configuration to integrate whogitit with Claude Code. This command should be run once after installing whogitit, before initializing any repositories.

What It Does

1. Installs capture hook script

   • Creates ~/.claude/hooks/ directory if needed
   • Writes whogitit-capture.sh to ~/.claude/hooks/
   • Sets executable permissions

2. Configures Claude Code settings

   • Creates ~/.claude/settings.json if it doesn’t exist
   • Adds PreToolUse and PostToolUse hook configuration
   • Preserves existing settings (creates backup at settings.json.backup)

Example Output

Setting up whogitit for Claude Code...

  Installed capture hook to ~/.claude/hooks/whogitit-capture.sh
  Configured Claude Code hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json
    (Previous settings backed up to settings.json.backup)

Global setup complete!

Next steps:
  1. Run 'whogitit init' in each repository you want to track
  2. Use Claude Code normally - AI attribution will be captured automatically

Run 'whogitit doctor' to verify your configuration at any time.

Re-running Setup

It’s safe to run setup multiple times:

• If the hook script is already installed and current, it will be skipped
• If settings are already configured, they won’t be duplicated

After Setup

After running setup, initialize each repository where you want to track AI attribution:

cd your-project
whogitit init
