📝 TLDR

A code editor for the terminal: file tree, tabs, search, git marks and syntax highlighting for 30+ languages — keyboard and mouse. One self-contained executable (no Node/Bun required for the binary itself; the npm/bun packages are launchers that download the same binary). Tree-sitter syntax and language-server support out of the box.

🌟 Highlights

• One binary: prebuilt and shipped for macOS (arm64, x64), Linux (arm64, x64), Windows (x64) — plus `.deb` / `.rpm` and an npm/bun launcher wrapper.
• Tree-sitter syntax + LSP: 30+ languages with syntax highlighting, language-server integration without per-tool config.
• Built-in git marks: file tree shows git status; dedicated source-control panel.
• Smart upgrade path: `druk update` detects how it was installed (Homebrew, the install script, npm/pnpm/yarn/bun) and runs the right upgrade.
• Project opening modes: `druk` (cwd), `druk ./dir`, `druk src/main.ts`, `druk src/main.ts:42`, `druk src/main.ts:42:7` (line + column).
• Out-of-the-box UX: `Tab` switches sidebar↔editor, `Ctrl+B` toggles tree, palette commands (e.g. View → Collapse folders in sidebar).
• Self-updates, mirror-friendly via `DRUK_DOWNLOAD_BASE` env var.
