Hello, future devs at Fullstack Academy and the Grace Hopper Program! Do you use Windows? Not really sure you want to make the switch to a Mac? I don't blame you; I had been a Mac user for the better part of a decade before switching to Linux, and then to Windows a few months before I started at Grace Hopper. As I'm writing this, I graduated from the program less than a week ago, and so I wanted to write some thoughts up while they're fresh in my head about using Windows. I figured a lot of this out on my own and in consultation with other non-Mac users, and so, rather than let others reinvent the wheel, I thought I'd provide a brief guide.
The simple fact is that you will have to use a Unix system of some sort, for technical reasons having to do with computer architecture. Git Bash, the provided Unix shell on Windows, is woefully inadequate. You can go the route of dual-booting your computer into a Linux partition or using a virtual Linux distrib
