What is the difference between settings.json and settings.local.json?

settings.json is intended to be committed to source control to share configuration with your team, while settings.local.json is for personal overrides and should be ignored by git.

How do I prevent Claude Code from reading sensitive files?

You can use the 'permissions.deny' object in your settings.json to block specific patterns, such as Read(.env) or Read(**/secrets/**), making them invisible to the tool.

How can I restrict the commands Claude can run in the terminal?

Use the 'permissions' configuration to set 'allow', 'deny', or 'ask' patterns for Bash commands, such as allowing 'npm run test' while requiring a prompt for 'git push'.

Where are the Claude Code settings files located?

User-level settings are in ~/.claude/settings.json, while project-level settings are located in your project's .claude/settings.json and .claude/settings.local.json files.

What is the order of precedence for Claude Code settings?

Settings are applied from highest to lowest priority: Enterprise managed policies, command-line arguments, local project settings, shared project settings, and finally user settings.
