description: Cross-machine Claude Code sync via Gitea repo, LaunchAgents, and memory symlinks between MacBook Pro and claude-code.local
type: reference

Claude Code config is synced between two Macs via a private Gitea repo.

**Repo**: https://git.chrissader.com/claudecode/claude-sync.git
**Location**: `~/.claude/` on both machines (the repo IS the .claude directory)

**Machines**:
- Chriss-MacBook-Pro (csader) — primary Mac
- claude-code.local (chrissader) — secondary Mac

**What syncs** (every 15 min via LaunchAgent `com.csader.claude-sync`):
- `agents/` — custom agent definitions (homelab-ops)
- `commands/` — custom slash commands
- `agent-memory/` — agent-specific memory
- `projects/*/memory/` — per-project memory files
- `sync.sh` — the sync script itself

**What stays local** (gitignored):
- `settings.json` / `settings.local.json` (contain API keys)
- Session history, tool results, workflows, cache, debug, plugins

**Path mismatch**: Project memory dirs encode absolute paths. Symlinks on claude-code.local map `-Users-chrissader-*` → `-Users-csader-*/memory` so both machines share memory.

**SSH access**: `ssh -i ~/.ssh/claude-sync chrissader@claude-code.local`

**MCP on claude-code.local**: obsidian-local (vault at /Users/chrissader/Documents/Sader) + home-assistant

**Manual sync**: Run `~/.claude/sync.sh` on either machine, or wait for the 15-min LaunchAgent cycle.
