What's Wrong?
The global git config for ignoring settings uses mixed slashes
cat ~/.config/git/ignore
**/.claude\settings.local.json
Updating it to use forward slash seems to fix the issue on Windows
echo '**/.claude/settings.local.json' > ~/.config/git/ignore
What Should Happen?
Update it to '**/.claude/settings.local.json'
