Claude Code tip: fork a conversation

Today's post is a tip on how to improve conversations with Claude Code, especially if you are unsure what is the best way to move forward. In those situations, you can fork a conversation.

Forking a Claude conversation is similar to branching in your version control: the original one stays intact. Also, the forked conversation knows the same things as the original conversation: it's history, plans, and context.

In Claude Desktop, you can right-click a conversation (on the left side, which has the list of available conversations) and select "Fork". On the chat box, you can use the /fork command.

Happy AI-assisted hacking!
