simple-text-editor

We finally have a functional editor, were you can open a new or existing file, modify it, and save it to the disk! I still need to add more functions to it, but im happy to say that you can try it already.

For now it only works for C programming language, in the future i will update it with more fuctionalities and other languages support.

Running the editor:

• Clone the repository:

  First of all we need to clone the git repository on our local machine. Fire up your prefered terminal and type in

  git clone https://github.com/nikiene/simple-text-editor.git
  

• Get inside the project's folder:

  cd ./simple-text-editor
  

• Setup:

  Install the GCC C Compiler and the Make program.

  For Windows users:

  You will need to install some kind of Linux environment on your machine. You can use a Virtual Machine or WSL (Official Microsoft WSL guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/pt-br/windows/wsl/about). After installing your preferred Linux distribution, you will need to run this command inside the bash:

  bash
  sudo apt-get install gcc make
  

  

  For Mac users:

  Run this on your terminal:

  xcode-select --install
  

  For Linux users:

  Run this on your terminal:

  sudo apt-get install gcc make
  

  Now that everything is set up, we can actually run the program!

• Running:

  To run the editor is very simple:

  Inside the project folder just type in this command:

  make
  

  

  It compiles the code and generates an executable.

  After you have succesfully compiled the code just type in this command to create a new file:

  ./main
  

  

  Or you can specify the path to the file you want to open:
