Setting up a developer environment

While this book is not specifically about coding, there will still be code samples that are used from time to time. While it is not specifically necessary to understand and execute those code samples, it can be interesting to do so. The following tools will let you run those samples on your local machine.

All of the YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML) files that are described in this book also appear in a shared Git repository (more details on this in the next section). In order to access these files, using Git and Visual Studio Code (VS Code) will make it easier for you.

Git

The first tool that you will need is Git. Git is a code versioning system that is free and open source. Developers use this tool to store source code in a common place and view the history of all code changes. It is used in most software engineering teams as a standard way to collaborate on a joint project.

To install Git, you can go to https://git-scm.com/downloads...
