visual studio code!! you can easily install Gemini extension which gives you unlimited access to 2.5 pro and is great for coding and prediction!! (or you can stick to github copilot extension). git is supported both through the builtin terminal and a supposedly great extension for git which i installed but dont use cuz i just like better CLI.
definitely worth a try.

What is the benefit of an ide vs what I was doing today?
Create repo on GitHub via cli, create project, start server to view project, then push to GitHub?
Am I missing anything good by doing it this way?
a IDE is meant to help writing code. it includes a fast easy to use editor with syntax highlighting and the ability to run it, usually includes code prediction and error warnings and much more. especially with vs code with an huge amount of great estensions and features to take care of git and ai and so much more. I don’t understand how you can sit and write code without it

Lol I dunno I’m doing fine, but maybe I’m missing out.
I’ll have to try it sometime.

It makes it literally double as fast i think. especially vs code with gemini or another good code completion you can write <!DOCTYPE and it’ll just come up the entire typical head for html and all you gotta do is hit tab.
(that might be a drop exahguration but its literally almost like that)

I was talking about autocomplete as you type but same with ai generation
I rarely use that.
That I use most times
Okay, I’m starting to use Visual Studio, and it is powerful.
I’m still getting used to it, and as confusing as things are for me right now, its still way better than the complicated workflow I had until now.
@ars18, give it a try.
