xi-gtk

a GTK+ front-end for the Xi editor

Instructions

We recommend to use flatpak-builder for building xi-gtk. To get started, make sure you have flatpak-builder installed and the flathub repo configured correctly.

# add the flathub repo
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

Once you are ready, you can build and install xi-gtk with a single command.

flatpak-builder --from-git=https://github.com/eyelash/xi-gtk.git --install-deps-from=flathub --install ~/.xi-gtk-build flatpak.json

Finally, you can run xi-gtk.

flatpak run com.github.eyelash.xi-gtk
