fix: replace deprecated :* with modern * wildcard in git permissions by Dave-London · Pull Request #929 · anthropics/claude-code-action

Dave-London · 2026-02-11T05:21:51Z

Summary

Replace deprecated Bash(git add:*) colon-prefixed wildcard syntax with the modern Bash(git add *) space-separated syntax in default git tool permissions. The old syntax causes SDK validation errors when triggering the action via @claude.

Closes #856

Changes

src/modes/tag/index.ts — 7 permission strings updated
src/create-prompt/index.ts — 7 permission strings updated
test/create-prompt.test.ts — test assertions updated to match

The base-action/test/parse-sdk-options.test.ts was intentionally left unchanged as it tests parsing of user-provided claude_args input (backwards compatibility).

Test plan

bun test test/create-prompt.test.ts — 40/40 pass
Full test suite — all pre-existing passes still pass (20 failures are pre-existing Windows symlink/path issues)
No new dependencies

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Replace `Bash(git add:*)` syntax with `Bash(git add *)` in default tool permissions for tag mode and create-prompt. The colon-prefixed wildcard syntax is deprecated and causes SDK validation errors. Closes anthropics#856 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I have isssue since this was merge, I now have This command requires approval got git commit -m... while before it was working. Installed claude version is 2.1.31

Dave-London · 2026-02-12T11:00:35Z

Hi @maxired, sorry to hear that. Could you clarify — are you seeing this when using the @claude GitHub Action, or when running Claude Code CLI locally?

This PR only modifies the default tool permissions within the GitHub Action, so it shouldn't affect local CLI behavior. If you're seeing this locally, the timing may be coincidental (possibly related to a CLI update).

If you're seeing this in the GitHub Action, could you share your workflow config and the action version you're pinned to? That would help narrow down whether the permission pattern change is the cause.

maxired · 2026-02-12T11:39:20Z

@Dave-London thanks for your answer - this is when using claude code action on the github ci - we ar enot using custom prompt

I opened an issue #934 and was wondering wether this PR would fix it

edit: pr link was updated it was incorrect

Dave-London · 2026-02-12T11:45:59Z

Thanks for digging into this @maxired. It looks like you've identified the root cause in #934 — the action isn't installing the correct Claude Code version when using the create prompt entrypoint, so the older version doesn't understand the updated wildcard syntax. That tracks with what you were seeing here.

maxired · 2026-02-12T11:51:36Z

@Dave-London for the records it actually does seems to work when the commit message is single line

git commit -m "single line" works
git commit -m "first line\nsecond line" does not works

Is this only a fix for git? Do I need to still keep putting the : for other bash commands?
