Developer Tools

Overview

These are the tools every developer needs regardless of language or framework — the bedrock of the development environment. Whether you are writing Python, C#, Rust, or JavaScript, you will reach for these tools daily: a shell to run commands, Git to track changes, a package manager to install software, and containers to ship reproducible environments. Mastering this foundational layer makes everything built on top of it faster and more reliable.
