Repository

Choose a repository management platform that is more convenient for you. You can use either GitHub or GitLab. Github is presented by default, but you can switch to GitLab by clicking on the GitLab tab.

Version control

For version control, you can use preinstalled GitHub Desktop or git CLI supported inside the IDE of your choice.
