Re:Show HN: Total Recall – write-gated memory for Claude Code by davegoldblatt on Thursday February 05, 2026 @07:48PM (#46907588)
Good catch. I agree the safe default is to ignore memory/ since it can contain personal notes, people context, and daily logs. I’m updating the installer to add memory/ to .gitignore by default (along with CLAUDE.local.md and .claude/settings.local.json).

For teams that do want shared context, I’ll document a “team mode” gitignore pattern that commits only selected registers (e.g. decisions/projects) while keeping daily logs + preferences/people local.

Thanks, thinking again it was indeed safer to keep as hidden by default.

I've been using it since yesterday, it is doing it work as intended without getting in the way. So far, works great.
