Source Control
I prefer git over other source control management systems (SCM). While I use git through the command line, there are times when a GUI comes in handy. I have use many different git GUIs and I think that the SourceTree is the all around best free to use GUI for git. If you are wanting a IDE with built-in git support the built-in git tools for the JetBrains IDEs are Awesome!
For those of you that are not familiar with source control, I can not stress this enough start playing around with it now! Git might have a slightly steeper learning curve than other SCMs however that little bit more work up front will pay off. Some reasons for choosing git.
