Claude Code - Tutorial for Beginners

Claude Code is not another chatbot. It's an agent that lives in your terminal and actually does things: creates files, runs scripts, opens folders, even makes pull requests. If you've never touched a CLI tool before, don't worry, I go from zero in the video: one install command, one login, and you're giving it real work.

By the end you'll have it managing files, running scripts, and remembering your project context between sessions.

What's inside

• Install Claude Code with a single command on Mac or Windows
• Authenticate with /login and handle permission prompts
• Create, find, and remove files just by asking
• Run scripts on command (I use it to toggle my lights)
• Run multiple Claude instances in parallel for different tasks
• Use claude.md so it remembers your project across sessions
