Developer Tools

This Developer Tools section has the feel of a well-stocked workbench: editors, forges, version control systems, container tools, notebooks, and collaboration platforms all sitting within reach. If you’re setting up a coding environment, you’ll find long-standing staples like Vim, Neovim, Visual Studio Code, VSCodium, Zed, Eclipse IDE, and Apache NetBeans, each with its own take on editing, extensibility, language support, and modern workflows. For teams managing code together, Git anchors the basics, while GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo, Codeberg, and GitHub CLI cover everything from self-hosted repositories and pull requests to CI/CD, issues, project boards, and shell-based GitHub workflows.

The category also stretches beyond writing code into the surrounding systems that make development practical. Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes speak to packaging, running, scaling, and managing applications across local machines and clusters. Pandoc and Project Jupyter support documentation, publishing, and interactive computing; Penpot connects design and developer handoff; and OpenToonz is a reminder that open-source tooling can support creative production too, including animation pipelines and plugin development. Taken together, these listings are especially useful if you care about open source, self-hosting options, extensible workflows, and tools that can grow from solo projects into serious team infrastructure.
