Introduction

GNU Midnight Commander is a file manager for the shell, which is licensed under GPL and is therefore Free Software.

As Midnight Commander is a text mode application. It can be used locally and/or remotely, on the console or under the X Window System.

This is the new site for the Midnight Commander, due to some restructurements in the development team the repository was moved from savannah into this git repository.

Contributing

You are interested in mc and would like to improve it? Cool! Feel free to post your patches to the tickets and review patches there. If you do this on a regular basis we'll ask you if you maybe want to become a dev. However when you work with the ticket system please have a look on our WorkingGuideLines, so that your work is noticed by us.

If you are unfamiliar with git, you can also have a short view on our GitGuideLines where the workflow with git is described quite practical.
