Micro is a terminal-based text editor that aims to be easy to use and
intuitive, while also taking advantage of the full capabilities of modern
terminals. It comes as one single, batteries-included, static binary with no
dependencies, and you can download and use it right now.

As the name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano
editor by being easy to install and use in a pinch, but micro also aims to be
enjoyable to use full time, whether you work in the terminal because you prefer
it (like me), or because you need to (over ssh).
