It's important to keep accurate time for many software deployments. Ubuntu uses timedatectl by default, though it is useful to run with ntp.
sudo apt install ntp
sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
sudo timedatectl set-ntp on
sudo timedatectl status
sudo ufw allow from any to any port 123
Text Editor is a highly personal choice. vim is packaged with Ubuntu.
If you really need a GUI-based text editor, Sublime Text has become a popular choice for software development:

All examples assume ~/Document/git is the location where git projects reside.
cd /git
git config --global user.name "First Last"
git config --global user.email "myemail@example.com"
git clone git@my.git.repository:git_group/my_project.git
cd ~/Document/git/my_project
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "add README"
git push [additional push options]
To replicate the directory structure and all files under ~/Document/git/my_project/my_submodule, navigate to the project top-level directory and execute the following commands:
cd ~/Document/git/my_project
git add --all
git commit -am "<commit message>"
git push [additional push options]
sudo apt install python3-pip
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade pip
Note that pip3 commands are run either with sudo using the -H option or without sudo. Otherwise, you will get warnings or errors about directory permissions.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mysql-server
mysql_secure_installation
Check MySQL status:

If MySQL isn't running you can start it with
sudo systemctl start mysql
Allow MySQL to autostart
sudo systemctl enable mysql
Set Unicode support as default for character set and collation variables. Among the available Unicode options, those with prefix utf8mb4 are recommended for most purposes. When you start a session logged in as an user with appropriate privileges, you can set default Unicode support options:
SET character_set_client = 'utf8mb4';
SET character_set_connection = 'utf8mb4';
SET character_set_database = 'utf8mb4';
SET character_set_results = 'utf8mb4';
SET character_set_server = 'utf8mb4';
SET collation_connection = 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';
SET collation_database = 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';
SET collation_server = 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';
WARNING: Avoid changing values for character_set_filesystem, character_set_system, character_sets_dir variables without a good reason.
