What is Claude Code?
Claude Code is an agentic coding tool from Anthropic that runs directly in your terminal (or integrated in your IDE) and is designed to understand your full codebase, execute commands, edit files, create commits, and handle git workflows — all via natural-language prompts. Its key capabilities include building new features from plain-English descriptions, debugging and fixing issues by analysing the codebase, navigating complex repositories, and automating repetitive engineering tasks.Integration Options
