Claude Code meets Windows. No more "WSL required" errors, just pure productivity.

🚀 Quick Start

# Install Claude Code globally
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code --ignore-scripts

# Run it
npx win-claude-code@latest

That's it. 🎉

✨ What This Does

Bypasses bash dependency checks - No more terminal detection fails
Zero configuration - Works out of the box
Same Claude experience - All features intact
Unix commands support - Automatically enables grep, find, awk, sed and more with Git Bash

🛠️ Unix Commands (Optional)

Want to use Unix commands? Install Git for Windows and win-claude-code will automatically detect it:

Download from git-scm.com/download/win
Install with default options
Run npx win-claude-code - Unix tools are automatically available!

Available commands: grep, find, awk, sed, curl, wget, tar, ssh, and more.

Node.js 22+
Windows 10/11
Claude Code (installed globally)
Git for Windows (optional - for Unix commands)
