About the Tools
Git
Git is a tool that helps you manage versions of your code and collaborate with team members. There is a lot to know about it, but in this tutorial we will cover only basic usage.
GitHub
GitHub is a code repository website that integrates with Git. It allows you to publish your project on the Web, copy other open source projects, and collaborate. To be able to publish your project, make sure you create a user in GitHub's website (for free, of course).
StackBlitz
StackBlitz is an online editor which provides you all the functionality of an Online-IDE called Visual Studio Code and the Angular CLI.
Angular-CLI
Angular CLI is a powerful tool that simplifies a lot of the development process. It also installs libraries you'll use in your current and future projects. StackBlitz has it integrated out of the box, which makes it easier for you.
IDE
Our next tool is the IDE, or integrated development environment. It's software that helps you write the code. IDEs can do a lot of amazing things, such as:
highlight the code so it's easier to identify expressions
suggest completions to what you type
help you navigate easily through the files in your project
and a lot more...
Visual Studio Code
Microsoft Visual Studio Code is an editor that's gained a lot of popularity lately. It is completely free for individuals.
