de-claude

Remove Claude co-authorship attribution from unpushed git commits.

Installation

npm install -g de-claude

Usage

Run in any git repository:

de-claude

This will:

1. Find all unpushed commits with Claude attribution
2. Show a preview of commits to be cleaned
3. Ask for confirmation
4. Remove the attribution lines and rewrite history

Options

--dry-run          Show what would happen without making changes
-y, --yes          Skip confirmation prompt
--verbose          Show actual lines being removed
--range <range>    Explicit commit range (e.g., HEAD~5..HEAD)
-h, --help         Display help
-V, --version      Display version

Examples

Preview changes without applying them:

de-claude --dry-run

See exactly which lines will be removed:

de-claude --dry-run --verbose

Skip confirmation (useful for scripts):

de-claude --yes

Only process specific commits:

de-claude --range HEAD~3..HEAD

How it works

The tool uses git filter-branch to rewrite commit messages. It automatically detects:

• Tracking branch: Compares against your upstream (e.g., origin/main)
• Feature branches: Finds commits since branching from main/master
• Local-only repos: Processes all commits on the current branch

Requirements

• Node.js 18+
• Git
