Extensions add functionality to Brackets. They are also free and easy to install. I suggest you start with the following. We will go over them in more detail throughout the semester. These extensions are generally not installed in the BMCC computer labs.
- Emmet: High-speed HTML and CSS workflow.
- Beautify: Format JavaScript, HTML, and CSS files.
- File Icons: File icons in Brackets’ file tree.
- Brackets Git: Git integration for Brackets.
- W3C Validation: Simple W3C Validator.

THEMES
Also in addition to functional extensions like the ones mentioned above, you can also change the theme (colors and fonts) used by Brackets. They are similar to extensions in how they are installed.
