This is REALLY awesome! However, you need to change your instructions now that you have the install script. I came across another of your posts a couple of days ago when you announceed the update. I went to the github page and scanned the readme. I followed the link to the blog post and followed the directions there since the readme said these were more complete. Topday I tried to use it to review a PR and got a oauth error. Weird, I thought, as I remembered that your announcement was explicitly about fixing this. So I went back to the github page, which is when I noticed the curl/bash install info. I then used the curl command, went through the wonderful install flow (super clear and easy) and successfully installed. and used it. I imagine others may make the mistake I did and follow the outdated blog post instructions! Answer from Parabola2112 on reddit.com

A "Just use API" Guide
Beware of users hocking their own UI products. They like to respond personally to say this thing they found is the best, not revealing it is theirs until you grill them. I use LibreChat. It's okay. Very jittery when generating answers, but it works. Also does caching. Installing on Docker on a mac was not fun, but just a one time hassle. I've used AnythingLLM. It's much easier to install. IDK anything else about it. Apparently bigAGI is good. That name makes me cringe so I've never tried. Oh also you can generate a new API key whenever you want. If you think someone might have maybe possibly stolen yours just make a new one. It is very very easy. EDIT: Do not worry about the best front end. They all work. Use whatever random one you first think is ok. Keep an eye out on your Anthropic console to make sure your API key hasn't been stolen. More on reddit.com

r/github on Reddit: How we made Claude Code free in github actions (for Pro / Max users)
July 1, 2025 -

1 month ago Anthropic released rather quickly there Github App and github action in response to Google Jules and OpenAI Codex. It allows to trigger a github action with "@claude" on issues or PRs and getting Claude Code to do the work and revert back in semi realtime.

It's all great but bad news for many Antropic subscribers (Claude Max / Claude Pro) it turns out that if they want to use @claude on their repo, they have to create a new API key and pay per tokens on top of their subscription.

Turns out the community of disapointed people by the above is quite big, so we gathered with the open-source community on github and created a fork of the claude github action enabling oauth support via a few github secrets that you would set on your repository and pass to the github action.

After a month and a lot of contributions, discussions and ideas we have improved the github action above by allowing to perform the full oauth flow within github indenpendently from the local Claude Code app. This solved all issue we had previously with oauth token expiring or invalidating the local oauth flow.

To give you an idea of what it took to achieve an oauth flow within github actions, we created a separate github action called claude code login. It runs in two steps the first one would store the oauth state in cache and generate the unique url to the anthropic website which generate the code. We then expect the user to go on the url, copy the code and re-run the same action. On the second run the user should provide the copied code. Using the cached state we perform the exchange code for token of the oauth flow and store the oauth tokens and expiry information in github secrets.

Additionally to the claude code login github action we check the expiry secret and refresh the tokens automatically (updating github secrets with a PAT) if expired or close to expire.

If you want to try for yourself, we have also released an installer which make it as simple as running one command in your repo to get started with @claude (if you are Claude subscriber):

# cd into your repo
bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grll/claude-code-action/main/scripts/installer.sh)

Let @claude solve all your github issues, and PRs at no extra cost...
