This section is entirely optional we don’t need a difference and merge tool for Bracket-Git (we’ll use Brackets directly). It’s hard to keep up with the current version, there is a new release every couple of months - it never looks any different though, not sure what all the changes are? - I recommend you just use the latest.It is very easy to get, just click download on the main page and then the big green download button on the download page (see Figure 3.11). I’m currently using version 7.5.7 (32 bit) for Windows. Notepad++ is available from the download page of the website.

I recommend you install both Brackets and Notepad++ I’ve already covered the Brackets installation on a previous posting: getting and installing brackets (I cover the main points in appendix A). Unfortunately, we need to use the command line stuff to get everything set up (that’s what we’re doing now). I will just use Notepad++ when creating or editing files directly from the Git Bash command line (that thing you can see in Figure 3.10)-hopefully this won’t be too often, the whole point is to manage everything through Brackets and not have to bother with the command line stuff. I will still use Brackets for all the web development and I will also use it to manage Git and GitHub repositories. My next favourite is atom but this also has problems with Git, It’s difficult to set up as the default editor: under Windows, Git won’t wait for Atom to close before continuing again this is a problem for what we want to do. The only problem is that it doesn’t play nicely with the Git Bash command line specifically it won’t create a new file from the command line which is a bit of a problem for Git †1. I’m a big fan of Brackets I use it for all my web development stuff.
