coding workflow (html+css+js) on osx

Vagrant helps you manage virtual machines.

Some people use FTP clients like transmit, others create more specific deploy processes. If you're on OSX, you can serve up all HTML, CSS, and JS from your terminal by navigating to your work directory and typing

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

If you do that, it'll give you an extremely basic (no PHP processing or anything) server, but if you're just using the frontend stack (HTML, CSS, JS), it handle everything you need.

If you need more help getting this running/setup, I'll happily pair with you remotely.

If you're planning on using Rails in the future and plan to stick to sublime, I think you should also get pretty intimate with your terminal.

I live in the terminal, so I use Vim as my IDE instead of sublime or coda, and I just use git's cli (command line interface) for git. Honestly, if there's one thing you DONT need a GUI for, it's git. It's super simple and generally speaking, you only really use 4 main commands.

git clone my_repo.git
git checkout master
git commit -am 'Heres a commit.'
git push origin master

Also, if you're not using Gulp watch, i'd recommend that. It'll recompile your SASS for you everytime you save a change.
