If the folder is versioned and commited regularly there is no problem. It also allows you to open the files in your IDE, do some other tasks or fixes for claude. It prevents claude from accessing any other folder, which is the idea of the post.

Until Claude nukes .git, assuming you're using git as the version/commit store. Solution use easy, just push to a remote on a reasonable cadence (that you can run reflog on, so a force push won't eat your data either). Git isn't backup though, it's a VCS, and those are two different things, even if they are somewhat alike.

I’ve seen Claude rm .git in rare occasions to “fix rebase hiccups”

Version control ain’t a match for a good backup

So? if it removes .git, just clone the project again and you are ok

In that case, you're just relying on your remote backup :-)
