    VSCodium

    VSCodium

    binary releases of VS Code without MS branding/telemetry/licensing

    Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled. If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VSCode. Please note that some Visual Studio Code extensions have licenses that restrict their use to the official Visual Studio Code builds and therefore do not work with VSCodium.

    EBookGenTools

    EBook Generation Tools - scripts to create ebook formats EPUB, DOC

    EBookGenTools is a set of GNU/Linux shell scripts to process plain text for a book into HTML and electronic book formats. It was developed to create EPUB and DOC files from book text exported from novel writing software such as Manuskript, StoryBook, or your favourite text editor.
