Basics on Code/Git for Non-Devs

Working with Code

• Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can read your code and write code if you have it locally, say in GitHub client, on your machine.

• If you are a Product Manager who wants to use a coding agent to better understand your code, its status, etc, download GitHub Client and ask your dev team for read-only access to your codebase

Moving plans or other documents into Git

If you want a a plan or other document to be synched with Git, simply move the document into another folder that is not git-ignored.

• For example, your organization might have a folder for Specification or Shared Plans. When a plan you are working on is at the right state to be in this folder for all to see and reference, move it.
