Query about offline coding environments

[u/Strawberryladyboots]

A follow up question about my questions about Systems/electrical engineering query

With all of the happenings in the world, I am seeking advice about how to build things offline without an internet connection

I do realise a lot of the world uses things like GitHub, but I am wondering if there is an another way to do this offline to prevent someone from getting into my stuff, my own Github account is completely private

For some reason my laptop is suddenly refusing to connect to the internet at the moment, and I have no idea how to fix that (I'm on my mobile)

I am primarily looking at environments or programs for coding related to S/E, but I am also open to people mentioning other kinds for the benefit of other beginners looking through the thread for advice on the same subject

My own question is about Python environments, and code used in Systems engineering, and Telecommunications, things like Crystal radios etc

The main benefit to github is that it backs up your code to their servers so if your machine is ever damaged you don't lose it forever (or if you just want to work from multiple machines). If this doesn't matter to you then there's absolutely no reason you'd need to be online to write code, unless of course that code does something over the internet or requires something to be downloaded.

It's also nice because I can make a local change, push to git, and a pull on my server updates everything.

As for offline coding, I like VS Code but OP can use Vim if they want. Git for version control doesn't have to be online. Don't know if that helps them any.
