fresh: Terminal based IDE & text editor: easy, powerful and fast

SMRTR summary

Fresh is a zero-configuration terminal text editor that brings VS Code and Sublime Text UX to the command line — familiar keybindings, full mouse support, a command palette, LSP integration, multi-cursor editing, and an Orchestrator for managing multiple git worktrees. It handles multi-gigabyte files with low memory overhead and installs as a single static binary on Linux via a one-liner curl command.
