I am using Catalina and today I have Command Line Tools beta 3 for Xcode 12.0 available as an update. Why? How can I remove this from being offered as a Software Update?
Got a tip for us?

I see it too. Not running beta anything. Someone at Apple evidently pressed the wrong button.
When will this be fixed by Apple?
I have this problem too, it shows :

Finding available software
Software Update found the following new or updated software:

As I already mentioned there's an easy workaround, in Terminal type:
sudo softwareupdate --ignore "Command Line Tools beta 3 for Xcode"
sudo softwareupdate --ignore "Command Line Tools beta 3 for Xcode"
I have the same problem, when would Apple fix it so we can receive proper updates for Commandline tools? Ignoring the beta doesn’t bring up recent update to CL tools.
Thank you very much for sharing the solution 👍
Hopefully Apple will fix it tomorrow
It's trying to install beta (aka buggy) software on the machines of users who haven't expressed any interest in running beta Xcode, beta CLT or beta macOS.
And again, apparently. Just got 'Command Line Tools beta 5 for Xcode 12.0' on my 10.15.6 system, despite not having Xcode installed and not being registered for betas.
I'd hoped that this would go away with the release version of Xcode 12, but no such luck. Still have beta 5 showing up in Software Update. Sigh.
Mine did go away after installing Xcode 11.7, or 10.15.6 Supplemental-Update, can't remember which.
It seems that I just needed to wait a little longer. I just checked it again, and both beta 5 and the release version were showing up. I installed the release version, and that's knocked b5 off the list
