# anthropics/claude-code

> An agentic coding tool that lives in the terminal: it understands your codebase, executes routine tasks, explains complex code, and handles git workflows via natural language commands.

## Useful for

- Run it in a project directory to automate routine code edits
- Ask it to explain an unfamiliar part of the codebase in natural language
- Delegate common git operations to the agent directly from the terminal

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-02 (UTC), 00:09–19:56: 154171 → 154286 stars (+115). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +137 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- About 34 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 25,539
- Issues and pull requests: 104,913
- Watchers: 902
- Average over the last week: 140 per day
- Usual pace: 211 per day
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 5
- Latest release: v2.1.316 (2026-10-31)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
Data as of 2026-11-02 20:10 UTC, updated every 30 minutes.
