  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

  • Git is installed with the Xcode CLI tools which is my source control for code changes. Github is where I push those changes to collaborate with others. I use Gitlab at work which is also fantastic and offers free private repos. Github is a better place to start on IMO since the open source community is centered around it. You can learn so much from looking at / working on open source software so def have fun with that :)

  • Puts Debuggerer

    Ruby library for improved puts debugging, automatically displaying bonus useful information such as source line number and source code.
