Day 5: Editing Without Fear

Claude Code creates checkpoints before making changes. You can always go back. This means you can experiment freely - if something goes wrong, just restore from the checkpoint. Think of it like save points in a video game.

Today's Tasks

  1. 1Open your `goals.md` file with Claude Code
  2. 2Ask Claude Code to make some changes (add more goals, reformat, etc.)
  3. 3Notice the checkpoint created
  4. 4Ask Claude Code to undo the changes using the checkpoint
  5. 5Make new changes you actually want to keep

Prompt to Use

Open my goals.md file and add 2 more ambitious goals to it. Also reformat it to look more professional with proper headings.

Expected Outcome

Edited a file, undid changes, then made intentional edits.

New Terms

Pro Tip

Checkpoints are like save points in a video game. Experiment freely knowing you can always go back.

Coming Tomorrow

We'll organize our project with a proper folder structure.
