Files view in the light mode

Edit view in the light mode

Other features include:

  • Edit or delete created app entries without opening the file manager
  • Automatically add execution permission to the file you select
  • Syntax error detection
  • Automatically save everything―your data in editing, last open view, and preferences

The original idea of the app is inspired from https://github.com/alexkdeveloper/dfc.

Installation

For Users

You can download the app from Flathub, which should make this app available for all Linux distribution:

Download on Flathub

We originally targeted this app for elementary OS and also released it on Flathub after some time, but we decided to publish the app only on Flathub since version 2.0.0. We no longer publish new features or bug fixes to the elementary-curated version of the app.

This does not mean the app no longer available on elementary OS. You can simply switch to the Flathub version of the app; please uninstall the current installation and then re-install the app from Flathub.

For Developers

You'll need the following dependencies to build:

  • libgee-0.8-dev
  • libgtk-4-dev
  • libadwaita-1-dev (>= 1.2.0)
  • meson (>= 0.57.0)
  • valac

Run meson build to configure the build environment. Change to the build directory and run ninja to build

meson build --prefix=/usr
cd build
ninja

To install, use ninja install, then execute with com.github.ryonakano.pinit

ninja install
com.github.ryonakano.pinit
