Newbie question: On what terminal/program do I code outside of the Treehouse Workspace?

Just started learning on Treehouse, totally new to code. Learning HTML.

On what terminal/program do I code outside of the Treehouse Workspace?

Or can Workspace showcase my work publicly?

Or do I do all of this on Github?

Ideally, I want to save my work.

Thank you.

I'm still relatively new myself, but I've had a pleasant experience with http://brackets.io/ for html and css, it also has live preview capabilities to see changes right away.

You can certainly save and share projects on Github. But for development, you'll want to use something appropriate to the language you are writing in. For examples, folks doing C# development often install and use the free Visual Studio Community Edition IDE. And for front-end development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) Visual Studio Code is very popular.

Thank you!

Forgot to ask. How and where do I find projects to work on at my newbie level? Treehouse? Github?
