Overview

Today I'd like to share some of my developer workbench and the software I regularly use. I have broken them into a few categories:

Essential Software

Software I expect to always be installed on my dev machine.

Implementation Software

Non-essential software that may be on my local development machine or installed in a dev container.

VS Code Extensions

Extensions I use in VS Code.

Remember, my primary development machine is running OSX.

VS Code Extensions

I created a simple bash script to pull these extensions from my VS Code installation. You can find it at the bottom of this page.

Assumes you have jq installed from the above list.
