Show HN: Claudebase: Sync your Claude Code env across machines via GitHub

Your Claude Code setup is infrastructure. Agents, skills, rules, hooks, memory — these accumulate over weeks of work and represent real investment. Losing them to a disk wipe, or manually recreating them on a new machine, shouldn't happen. Claudebase syncs your entire Claude Code environment to a private GitHub repo. Profiles let you switch between work, personal, and team configurations instantly. Secret scanning, automatic backups, and multi-machine conflict detection keep things safe. claude plugin marketplace add rohithzr/claudebase claude plugin install claudebase@rohithzr Then restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins .

This lets you maintain organization-wide defaults while customizing per context.
