- Syntax highlighting and more
This editor is built as a learning process just as much as it is built out of desire for a more feature rich version of micro.
If your system can run Go, you can build from source.
Make sure that you have Go version 1.19 or greater and Go modules are enabled.
git clone https://github.com/kyrasuum/strangelet
cd strangelet
make
sudo mv strangelet /usr/local/bin # optional
The binary will be placed in the current directory and can be moved to anywhere you like (for example /usr/local/bin).
If you have features/bugs please open an issue or PR.
I am open to accepting pull requests from anyone.
