Issue #663  (JS Libs, Git/CLI, Uncats)04/02/26

A quick intro for this week to give you an opportunity to check out my latest e-book release:

Learn Visual Studio Code

It's a compilation of tips, tricks, and customizations for VS Code, with 450+ high resolution screenshots. The purchase gets you EPUB and PDF formats and it includes 150+ tips, almost all of which deal directly with VS Code, no special extensions needed.

The book is written by me, no AI used for the text content. AI was only used to do some image editing and touch-ups. I hope you enjoy it, and a special thanks to all those who have purchased it already! I appreciate the support.

Now on to this week's tools!
