VS Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Among other languages, it has support for C/C++ via an extension.
To start developing Git with VS Code, simply run the Unix shell script called init.sh in this directory, which creates the configuration files in .vscode/ that VS Code consumes. init.sh needs access to make and gcc, so run the script in a Git SDK shell if you are using Windows.
