I added tee and logname utilities to GRU coreutils.

GRU Devlog 36 - coreutils

July 03, 2022 — G1n

Last week I wasn’t online for weekends, so decided to write devlog this week. Also, last 2 weeks I was mostly working on one of my admin projects (hextilde.xyz), so haven’t done anything in that period of time.

This week I was working on coreutils. It wasn’t maintained for a long time, so I decided to add some utilities to it.

I have restructured it, rewrote cat and added some utilities - head and wc.

GRU Devlog 17-18 - coreutils, EGG and ideas

November 28, 2021 — G1n

Last week I didn’t make devlog because was busy and haven’t done anything useful except mkdir for coreutils.

This week I started from try to make something in framebuffer but currently nothing, because I can’t even understand why my code can’t see size of my display. I think E will require making something like Elib for easier communicating with E (but it will be in very far future…)

Then I made echo and very simple ls for coreutils. I am going to add more flags to ls next week. This week I also have made simple irc bot in python, so I will try to make simple clone of suckless ii on C (i think name gic is now really good so if you have ideas please suggest them to me). Currently I don’t reallly understand how to work with sockets but I will try to do something.

GRU Devlog 5 - First contribution from other person, coreutils and gxt (tui text editor)

August 29, 2021 — G1n

This week I had a lot of new ideas. But I think we have to work on something that have already been started. Also we now have one more coreutils rewrite (now on C to more easily port it to Orion in future).

Also i have started working on some projects that is not ready to be published yet. One of them is gxt - tui text editor.

Currently it can only move cursor and display files. But I think I’ll publish it next week when editing will be working.

Bad news is that my school lessons will start next week so maybe this devlogs won’t be published every week, because of not enough work done. But I don’t know, maybe I’ll have enough time.

Also good news - we have first contribution on codeberg to grsh. I didn’t know this person (because he is not from tildeverse :) ), so it is cool!

Hope you liked this devlog! If you can somehow help us, please contribute to our projects on tildegit/codeberg and/or message me in someway :)
