My first cpp game ?!

So yeah I am a very python guy and I was learning c++ being a newbie sort of intermediate in python ig I started out with a 7 hour long tutorial which covered all of the c++'s basics. Now after some time I was fed up with watching tutorials to do projects which was at the first made sense but then suddenly when it came to C++ I did not like doing it that way
One thing i found interesting or maybe very very different from python was that there was almost no dependencies of framework and syntax for each thing it was pretty simple had my raylib installed and i are good to go like that idk if i felt different compared to python's way of
pip install smtng
i am very serious about this thing i felt easy when i made the pong game using raylib compared to the python's way of making it in pygame i felt HAPPY !?? why ?? i am clueless of why i even enjoyed it !!
I did face some issues but they were easy to solve i learnt about pointers and passing by references which was way too new stuff for me i sort of loved it i had this mind map of what was going in the memory
I know i did not write the most optimized code or anything but setting up the stage for the c++ was difficult for me the CMAKE stuff (i am using qtcreator idk if i shd be using that vscode setup was bad and i am using linux env). The coding part of the project was easy but the setup was hard! 😭😭😭
As an insanely newbie c++ programmer i want to ask few things
1) what sort of editor am i supposed to use
2) How to basically make like a release of the game (even if its just trash code out there its working trash code so i want it like as a sharable game with someone like that)
Thats it guys !! thanks for reading through this much its my first post thanks !!
