Claude Code: continue sessions and rewind changes
Resume previous Claude Code sessions, branch from any point, and roll back unwanted edits with a single command.
Three small Claude Code tricks I use every day.
Continue the last session
Picks up exactly where you left off — same context, same history.
claude --continue
# or the short form
claude -c
Resume an older session
Opens a picker with your past sessions (from days or weeks ago) so you can jump back into any of them.
claude --resume
# or
claude -r
Rewind changes
If Claude went down the wrong path, press Esc twice (Esc Esc) to rewind the conversation to an earlier point. You can also use the /rewind slash command. This undoes the messages and the file edits made since then, so you don’t have to clean up by hand.
That’s it — three shortcuts that save a lot of time.
