Hey everyone,

Since Claude Code has been around for a while now and many of us are already familiar with Claude Sonnet 3.7, I wanted to share a quick step-by-step guide for those who haven’t had time to explore it yet.

This guide sums up everything you need to know about Claude Code, including:

• How to install and set it up

• The benefits and when to use it

• A demo of its capabilities in action

• Some Claude Code essential commands

I think Claude Code is a better alternative to coding assistants like Cursor and Bolt, especially for developers who want an AI that really understands the entire codebase instead of just suggesting lines.

Claude Code has been running flawlessly for me by literally telling it to come up with a plan to make a change.

For example: "Think of a way to create a custom contact page for this website. Think of any potential roadblocks and or errors that may occur".

Then, I just take that output and paste it into Gemini, and tell it "Here is my plan to create a custom contact page for my website: [plan would go here]" (If you want to make it even better give it access to your code). Tell it to critique and make changes to this plan. Then you just feed the critiques back into Claude code and they go back and forth for a while until they both settle on a plan that sounds good.

Now you just tell Claude code "Implement the plan, make sure to check for errors as you go" and I have done this about 13 times and it has built and deployed, no extra debugging.
