Moving from claude-acc to Devpit

claude-acc binds Claude Code accounts to folders with a PowerShell profile line. Devpit can take over those accounts and folder links without moving them, so nobody signs in again. The background is in the blog post Moving from claude-acc to Devpit without signing in again.

Import

Section titled “Import”

Open Accounts in Devpit. The first time, it says Found accounts already on this PC and lists what claude-acc has. Choose Use them in Devpit.

Or from a terminal:

Terminal window
devpit claude import --from claude-acc

Devpit reads claude-acc’s own files (its accounts, folder links and default account), shows what it would add, and after a yes adds them as one change. devpit undo takes the whole import back. Each claude-acc account stays where it is, under %USERPROFILE%\.claude-switch\accounts. claude-acc’s default is Devpit’s default: your normal %USERPROFILE%\.claude.

Retire claude-acc, in this order

Section titled “Retire claude-acc, in this order”

The import prints these steps for your PC, with the exact file and line numbers.

  1. Check that Devpit picks the same accounts. Run devpit accounts verify, or open Accounts in a few of the linked folders. Claude Code should show the account claude-acc used there.
  2. Remove claude-acc’s line from your PowerShell profile. Open it with notepad $PROFILE and delete the line under # Claude Code Account Switcher. Devpit does not edit your profile.
  3. Open a new terminal. claude-acc’s line sets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR every time a terminal changes folder. A terminal started after the line is gone has no such variable. In an old terminal, Devpit’s shim overrides it for claude, but close it to be sure.
  4. Remove the program. Delete claude-acc’s bin folder inside .claude-switch. If you added that folder to PATH yourself, take it out of PATH too.
  5. Keep the account folders. Do not delete .claude-switch\accounts or anything in it while Devpit uses them.

Common questions

Do I have to sign in to my accounts again?

No. Devpit uses claude-acc's account folders where they are, and those folders hold the logins. Devpit's rules file only points at them.

Can I delete the .claude-switch folder afterwards?

Not the accounts folder inside it, and nothing in it, while Devpit uses those accounts. You can delete claude-acc's program from its bin folder. The config and links files can stay; nothing reads them once claude-acc is gone.
