Claude Code
Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal
Visit website →About
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool that runs in the terminal. Developers describe an engineering task in plain language and Claude carries it out: it reads the project to understand its structure, edits files across the codebase, runs tests and commands, and handles git operations such as commits and pull requests.
It works with existing repositories and toolchains rather than a separate environment, and can be extended with custom commands, hooks, and connections to other tools through MCP. It is also available in IDEs and other surfaces.
It is aimed at professional developers who want to delegate real implementation, debugging, and refactoring work and review the results.

Why we picked it
Claude Code earns its spot for the git-operations detail specifically — committing, opening pull requests, and reading a project's actual structure before editing is what separates it from a code-completion tool, worth it for developers who want the full workflow handled, not just suggestions.
