Hey everyone! I've been using Claude Code for a bit now and I'm really enjoying it. I've heard that some folks use multiple claude.md files or even run several instances of Claude at the same time. I'd love to gather any pro tips or best practices you have to share for working with Claude Code more efficiently. Just to give you some context: I'm not a coder by trade and I mostly rely on AI to help me with coding tasks. My setup is pretty simple; I've got VS Code downloaded, Claude Code installed, and I'm currently working on a file converter, which has been going well so far! If you have any advice, especially targeted at someone without a coding background like me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, and I hope everyone has a lovely day! 😊

Working modularly is key. Break your tasks into smaller pieces, it makes everything easier to manage and debug later!
Learning some basic command line git operations can really help. It allows you to manage your projects better and keep track of changes!
There's a GitHub repo called 'Awesome Claude Code' that has a ton of resources and tips to help you out. You might want to dive into that!
Check out the best practices on the Anthropic website; they have a lot of useful tips to optimize your experience with Claude Code!
That's a great suggestion! Alternatively, you could also ask Claude Code to install git and help manage your files.
