“An apprentice carpenter may want only a hammer and saw,
but a master craftsman employs many precision tools.
Computer programming likewise requires sophisticated tools,
to cope with the complexity of real applications,
and only practice with these tools will build skill in their use.”
~ Robert L. Kruse, Data Structures and Program Design

I strongly suggest an efficient, terminal-based file manager.
ranger is my favorite:
https://ranger.fm/
Though mc comes in handy too:
http://midnight-commander.org/
The nice part about these is that they are fast, efficient,
easy,
and can be used on remote machines, without GUIs.

Play several levels of https://vim-adventures.com/ and include a screenshot in
your repository
Play https://www.shortcutfoo.com/ for vim
Diff tools are helpful for comparing two folders of files,
or comparing two of your output files.
Compare your output to any given sample output to make sure they are the
same,
including all newlines and spaces, via bash:
./yourcode.whatever <sample_input.txt >your_output.txt
# or for two-column format (easier to see):
diff -y --color sample_output.txt your_output.txt
# using vim:
nvim -d sample_output.txt your_output.txt
# using git-delta
delta sample_output.txt your_output.txt
# in the Meld GUI:
meld sample_output.txt your_output.txtSlides: Content/05-build_systems.pdf
