No matter you want to use the Android Studio IDE or the Microsoft Visual Studio Code IDE for Flutter App Development it’s not easy to learn a whole new IDE on top of both the dart computer language and the flutter front-end framework. Would it not be nice if you could download this magical git repo that would have things organized so that you could import a settings file or two and have the IDE already maximized in the editor settings to get fast on flutter app development right away?

You are in luck as since I want to make sure you have the right flutter app development habits from the beginning; I have set up such a git repo called flutter_setUP:

flutter-setup https://gitlab.com/fred.grott/flutter_setup

Yes, there are some goodies in that repo such as the keyboard shortcut pdfs for both IDEs, the correct run-configurations(launch configurations), etc.

Download that git repo first and unzip it to a folder. Now I will discuss both IDE’s and how to use that flutter_setup repo to set up your Flutter IDE for maximum speed in developing flutter applications.
