Oride
What it is
Oride is a free, MIT-licensed terminal code editor and mini-IDE written in Rust for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It offers Vim-style modal editing, buffer tabs, splits, and multiple cursors. A project tree, collapsible interactive terminal, project search and replacement, and Git tools keep project work in one interface. Git status and synchronization include ahead/behind information plus pull and push. Syntax support is listed for Rust, C, Bash, Markdown, Ori, HTML, CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript, Python, D, Lua, Nim, and Ruby. Configured local language servers can start on demand for autocomplete, hover details, and go-to-definition navigation. Terminal Markdown preview handles tables, fenced code, images, links, and supported graphics protocols. A declarative task runner uses tasks.toml, while :health reports environment diagnostics. The repository labels the current project v0.2.0 and lists Lua plugins, large-file streaming, code actions, and crash recovery as future roadmap items.
