Git

Git is a version control system. It allows you to track changes to your code and to collaborate with other developers. Git is a great way to standardize your development environment.

Docker

Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package an application with all of its dependencies into a standardized unit for software development. Docker is a great way to standardize your development environment.

Dotfiles

Dotfiles are configuration files that are used to customize your shell and other applications. Dotfiles are a great way to standardize your development environment. You can use the same dotfiles in your local development environment, in your CI/CD pipeline, and in your production environment.
