GitButler Claude Plugin

[!NOTE] The claude code hooks are no longer the recommended way of integrating with GitHub.

We now recommend using our skill for the but CLI. The skill can be installed using but skill install --global.

This is a Claude Code plugin that provides a better version control experience than watching your agent struggle with a series of complex Git commands.

What does it do?

It installs hooks in the Claude lifecycle to automatically stage and commit changes after each Claude Code task is completed.

Upcoming work : TODO

Soon we will add some cool slash commands that you can use to customize the commit checkpoints that are automatically created:

• /absorb - absorbs the last commit into the one before it, if possible
• /squash - squashes all commits in the branch into one and rewrites the commit message
• /commit - if you've done manual work, creates a commit where you are

Also a number of commands to help open Pull/Merge Requests or update already pushed ones and manage that flow.

Perhaps a subagent that can do more complex branch operations after the fact.

Installing

To install this plugin for use in Claude Code, add this marketplace and then install the gitbutler plugin that it provides.

/plugin marketplace add gitbutlerapp/claude
/plugin install gitbutler

Once installed, Claude will automatically commit after every completed task.

You will need to have the GitButler CLI installed for this to work:
