Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

Visual Studio Code is one of the most popular code editors among web developers due to its lightweight design and extensive customization options. It supports various programming languages and offers useful features such as syntax highlighting, IntelliSense (intelligent code completion), and debugging.

VS Code’s integration with Git allows developers to manage version control without leaving the editor. The availability of extensions means you can tailor it to your specific needs, making it a versatile tool for all types of projects.

GitHub for Version Control

GitHub is essential for web developers who want to manage their projects with version control. It allows multiple developers to collaborate on the same project simultaneously, while keeping track of changes made by each team member. GitHub also helps you revert to previous versions of code if issues arise, making it invaluable for team-based projects.

In addition to version control, GitHub offers project management tools that make it easier to track tasks, monitor progress, and collaborate with other developers and designers in an organized manner.
