How I set up the tools I needed for my journey in Python/ django

Introduction
Hey so these past few days I’ve been taking the initiative to set up some software tools needed for my journey in python/django.
Here’s a breakdown of how I got everything working, from Git to Python, VS code and Docker too.

Git
First thing I did was make sure Git was installed and properly configured.
Did this by getting the link to the git website and downloading it.
I also configured my user details:
git config --global user.name "lisamswt"
git config --global user.email "lisanyamache05@gmail.com"

Python
It is Python 3.13 to be exact.
I Downloaded it from python.org
Where I clicked on Windows installer before adding python to path and clicking install.

VSCode (my text editor)
It had been the easiest to download.
Plus it has a lot of extensions hence easy to customise.
I downloaded it from: https://code.visualstudio.com/

Docker
I Installed Docker Desktop for windows on:
https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop

Conclusion
Now I can gain and apply the skills I’ll learn and create great projects with them.
