Some online guides:

4. Windows package manager
A lot of the development tools needed can be easily installed with a package manager.
5. Node.js version manager
A lot of our ministry projects run on Node.js, of differing versions. Having a version manager will help to manage the different Node.js versions you need.
Previously if you attempted to install nvm, you can uninstall it as fnm seems to be the preferred one in the industry now.
6. Code editor
What you use to make code changes!
7. Git Graphical User Interface
We use Git to collaborate with one another. A GUI will make your development experience easier!
Git GUI recommendations
8. Yarn (Node.js package manager)
Node.js projects come with a lot of different packages. We can use Yarn to manage them.
In your PowerShell, you can run:
npm i -g yarnFAQ
