esphome
ESPHome is a system to control your ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation systems.
It uses toit, a high-level language, and is thus quite easy to learn. At the same time it's an order of magnitude faster than micropython.
For ESP32 development I’ve installed PlatformIO and ESP-IDF so I can use both options depending on what I’m doing. For github you’ll need an account (https://github.com) and then install a (can’t remember which I have at the moment as I’m using a tablet to write this) github extension which will make saving to github a breeze.
Probably an unpopular opinion, but for the simple stuff you may just want to use something like EspHome where you just need to create a yaml file. Once you’re comfortable with that maybe get into something a bit more advanced, but esphome make it a breeze. It integrates with home assistant if you already have that in place as well.
