About Micro Text Editor
micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and
intuitive, while also taking advantage of the capabilities of modern terminals.
It comes as a single, batteries-included, static binary with no dependencies;
you can download and use it right now!
As its name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano
editor by being easy to install and use. It strives to be enjoyable as a full-time
editor for people who prefer to work in a terminal, or those who regularly
edit files over SSH.
