Great suggestions! What about version control? Is there an open source tool you recommend?

For version control, ‘Git’ is the standard. Pair it with ‘GitHub’ or ‘GitLab’ for collaborative features.

Don’t forget about ‘Docker’! It’s excellent for containerization and helps manage application environments efficiently.

Another great option is ‘Notepad++’. It’s lightweight and super useful for coding on Windows.

Definitely agree on Notepad++. For documentation, I really like using ‘Markdown’ and ‘Zettlr’ for writing.
