Atom
Atom is a hackable text editor for the 21st century, built on Electron, and based on everything we love about our favorite editors. We designed it to be deeply customizable, but still approachable using the default configuration. A text editor is at the core of a developer’s toolbox, but it doesn't usually work alone. Work with Git and GitHub directly from Atom with the GitHub package. Create new branches, stage and commit, push and pull, resolve merge conflicts, view pull requests and more—all from within your editor. The GitHub package is already bundled with Atom, so you're ready to go! Atom works across operating systems. Use it on OS X, Windows, or Linux. Search for and install new packages or create your own right from Atom. Atom helps you write code faster with a smart and flexible autocomplete. Easily browse and open a single file, a whole project, or multiple projects in one window.

Cargo
Cargo is the Rust package manager. Cargo downloads your Rust package's dependencies, compiles your packages, makes distributable packages, and uploads them to crates.io, the Rust community’s package registry. You can contribute to this book on GitHub. To get started with Cargo, install Cargo (and Rust) and set up your first crate. The commands will let you interact with Cargo using its command-line interface. A Rust crate is either a library or an executable program, referred to as either a library crate or a binary crate, respectively. Loosely, the term crate may refer to either the source code of the target or to the compiled artifact that the target produces. It may also refer to a compressed package fetched from a registry. Your crates can depend on other libraries from crates.io or other registries, git repositories, or subdirectories on your local file system. You can also temporarily override the location of a dependency.

Craftifact
Craftifact is a European artifact repository SaaS for software teams that need reliable package distribution together with supply-chain visibility. It provides hosted, proxy, and group repositories for Maven, npm, Python, OCI/Docker, and Go, with browser-based artifact metadata and repository management. CycloneDX SBOMs can be uploaded and, for selected hosted content, generated and linked to artifacts or OCI digests. Teams can inspect dependencies and review vulnerability, license, exposed-secret, and policy signals close to the affected artifact. Access is controlled through OIDC, RBAC, groups, robot accounts, and scoped tokens, with APIs for CI/CD and evidence workflows. Craftifact is operated in Europe by a German company under EU jurisdiction and includes managed updates, monitoring, backups within plan scope, and predictable non-seat-based pricing. It supports CRA-relevant technical preparation but does not replace legal or conformity assessment.
