Lightweight, keyboard-oriented IDE for the masses.

Basic stuff still missing, use it at your own risk 🔥️.

Currently it uses the GtkSourceView as code widget, but due to limitations of GtkSOurceView I plan to embed neovim in Tijolo, so Tijolo would only take care of the split panes and start a nvim instance with tijolo's own init files.

I started to code a code widget... but it's too much work for my spare time.

• Run fast, something you don't see very often in new desktop applications.
• Have a simple distraction free UI.
• Keyboard focused user interface.
• Easy/fast code navigation.
• ♥️ Git.
• ♥️ tree-sitter.

There's a AUR package for every release.

$ yay -S tijolo

There's also AUR package available for latest git version, named tijolo-git.

There should be a home made Ubuntu package for every release, check the github release page.

If you want to create a package from git, clone the repository then run ./packages/make-ubuntu-package, this will generate a docker image, build Tijolo inside that image, create a debian package then copy it back, out of the container. Not best approach to build a deb package but works on non-deb machines.

You will need:

• Crystal compiler version >= 1.10.0.
• GTK4 >= 4.8.
• LibAdwaita >= 1.4.
• GTKSourceView5.
• Vte4.
• GIR packages for these GTK libraries.

$ make
$ sudo make install

Tijolo use JetBrains Mono font, you can make install them if you don't already have them installed:

$ sudo make install-fonts

To uninstall:

$ sudo make uninstall uninstall-fonts

To update GTK4 icon cache and compile gschema files run:

$ make post-install

Pass a directory of a file under a git repository to open a project. Just call it without arguments to see a list of available projects.

1. Fork it (https://github.com/hugopl/tijolo/fork)
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create a new Pull Request
