What's a CLAUDE.md file? 📋

It's a short note in your project folder that Claude Code reads at the start of every session. Write your rules once, and every new session starts with them. Keep it under 200 lines.

What are Git and GitHub? 🗂️

Git is a paper trail for your files. Each commit saves a version with a note on what changed.

GitHub is like a private Dropbox for your files and that paper trail. It updates when you push.

Context window: the AI's working memory within one conversation 🧠

Your messages, its replies, and every file it reads fill it up. Too full, and earlier instructions slip. When a session gets long, I start fresh from a summary.
