Git

Here is the truth about Git that finally made it click for me: it is not a backup tool and not a file-sync tool – it is a content-addressed database of snapshots, with pointers. Once you see the graph of commits, every confusing command becomes a way of moving those pointers around.

vim

vim is one of the tools that you will want to get familiar with in linux. Just like Emacs, vim has it’s adherents who evangelize endlessly about its virtues.

I happen to love both emacs & vim finding that I happen to pop in and out of both continuously while working. You can do everything you want in either one of them, but like many things in life, having multi options you are fairly competent in, is very useful, fun and keeps life interesting.
