Top 23 C Command-line Projects

  • nnn

    n³ The unorthodox terminal file manager

    Project mention: Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2023-05-18

    The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.

    Project mention: Marp: Markdown Presentation Ecosystem | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-24

    It depends on what you are presenting. I found [mdp](https://github.com/visit1985/mdp) to be very useful when presenting a tech talk. It is easy to copy and paste from the source material, it can be done all via the terminal, and it views well as a README on github.

    Here is an example of a presentation I gave:
