tte

tte (tiny text editor) is a terminal based text editor written in C from scratch, trying to be very minimalistic and dependency independent (it's not even using curses).

This project was mainly created for educational purposes, so is very commented!

Thanks to antirez for inspiring me with his project kilo and Jeremy Ruten for his tutorials.
