What is Claude Code and how does it install?

Claude Code's an Anthropic AI agent for your terminal/IDE that edits code directly. Install via curl script, brew, marketplace extensions — five minutes tops.

Is Claude Code better than GitHub Copilot for big projects?

Yes, for monorepos: 1M tokens see everything, runs tests in-place. Copilot's snippet-focused.

Does Claude Code work on Windows?

Fully, but use PowerShell or CMD correctly; needs Git installed.
