You don't see how a link to "https://claude.ai/ https://claude.ai/.." in the Git log is an ad for Cluade/Anthropic? It feels exactly like "Sent from an iPhone" to me, and has exactly the same value to people reviewing the Git log later (i.e. none). Keep in mind that if you run across someone else's spam in the Git logs: - You need a Claude account. - You need permission to view the session. The only people who can just follow that link and look at how Claude was used, is Anthropic themselves. Therefore, they can also use it as an additional mechanism to tie sessions back to other IDs/identities. For everyone else this is "Sent from an iPhone" but longer.

If I put a link to the Jira ticket the commit fixes, is that an ad for Atlassian?

  Good counterpoint. We link to GitHub from JIRA, and the reverse. Linking to the Claude session that generated the code seems reasonable...it's a related artifact. One thing I'm not sure about: what is the utility of linking to the session? What are folks expected to do with that data?

    for one thing, understanding how the final code ended up that way. it's hard to tell with code alone wherever something is designed or cargo culted.

  If _you_ choose to do it, no. If the tool auto-does it, yes.

    You still choose to configure the tool. "It's the default" is only an excuse for the very first time you notice it.

      You're missing the pattern of behavior from Anthropic. They constantly market like this: the session link, the Co-Authored by Claude, the unwillingness to adopt AGENTS.md. Hell, on workflows on 2.1.246 Claude's been ignoring the "attribution" block in settings.json and gone right back to coauthoring every commit. What's the odds on them fixing that bug anytime soon.

  But presumably everyone in your company/team is using Jira, so it's not an "ad" because it's a product already used internally. Claude is appending these links to all commits by default, whether or not others on the team use Claude. Those are very different things.

For me, no. I’ve started tracking session ID on every ticket I work on in order to be able to find them again. Having it in the commit message is handy (not to mentioned I already have it I. The commit message).

The part after "https://claude.ai/ https://claude.ai/" is a UID, that's useful to have to tie together multiple possibly unrelated commits and changes authored in a given session.
