Hex editor written by illegitimate-egg

Description

I was tired of there being no good terminal hex editors. So I took matters into my own hands. It's written entirely using c and ncurses with no extras.

It comes with multiple ways to install, from a cURL-to-Bash approach to a simple nix run command.

Note this software is currently in very early development and only the nix install method has been verified.

Installation

Using cURL:

curl -sSL raw.githubusercontent.com/illegitimate-egg/hexedit/main/install.sh | sh

Using wget:

wget -qO- raw.githubusercontent.com/illegitimate-egg/hexedit/main/install.sh | sh

Using Nix:

nix run github:illegitimate-egg/hexedit

Compilation

Compiling is easy, only dependencies are gcc and ncurses.

git clone https://github.com/illegitimate-egg/hexedit.git
cd hexedit/
make
sudo make install

With Nix, it's even easier. You can just nix shell github:illegitimate-egg/hexedit or nix develop github:illegitimate-egg/hexedit to have all the dependencies ready for you. To build directly you can just:

nix build github:illegitimate-egg/hexedit
