Anterminal

what is anterminal?

anterminal is a minimal and fast terminal emulator written entirely in C, using only Xlib and Makefiles — no external dependencies, no bloat.

it was built with tiling window managers in mind (like dwm, bspwm, sway etc), making it lightweight, snappy, and perfect for riced desktop setups or suckless-style environments.

if you are using Debian based distro, make sure you have these packages installed!

$ sudo apt install libvte-2.91-dev libconfig-dev

If you are using Arch linux, Install these packages before anything!

$ sudo pacman -S vte3 libconfig

$ git clone https://github.com/antma-window-manager/anterminal $ cd anterminal $ make $ ./anterminal

the goal? just a dead-simple terminal that launches fast, does its job, and fits right into unix-style workflows. no GTK, no QT, no web tech — just raw C and X11. you can theme it, patch it, mod it however you want.

This project barely gets updated and it does not need to be updated unless we need some patches! Also Anterminal soon will be on AUR
