Claude Code

What is Claude Code?

Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that brings Claude directly into developer workflows. It runs in the terminal as a CLI, as extensions for VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, and in GitHub via issue-to-PR automation. Claude Code understands entire codebases, performs multi-file edits, executes shell commands, and integrates with tests, linters, and version control to ship changes end-to-end.
