Source code

muCommander is a lightweight, cross-platform file manager with a dual-pane interface. It runs on any operating system with Java support (macOS, Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris...). There are several ways to contribute to muCommander: Found a bug or thinking about a useful feature that is missing? File an issue Want to fix a bug or implement a feature? We are using the standard GitHub flow: fork, make the changes, and submit a pull request. Changes are merged to the master branch. See the next section for tips for developing muCommander. If you happen to speak a language that muCommander is not available in or able to improve existing translations, you can help translate the interface, see more details here. If you would like to contribute code, it is required to fork the repository and submit a pull request. Within pull requests, it is possible to review, discuss, and improve the changes until they are ready for production. Code Editing After cloning the source code repository from GitHub, you would probably want to import the project to an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or IntelliJ. The code repository of muCommander is comprised of a main project that contains its core functionality and several sub-projects. These projects are Gradle projects. Most of the popular IDEs today allow you to import Gradle projects out-of-the-box or via an IDE plugin. By importing the main project that is located at the root directory of the repository you will get all the required code in the IDE. How to Run The use of the Gradle wrapper significantly simplifies the build from the command line. The following commands can be invoked from the root directory of the repository with no further installation. You can also run directly from within you IDE by executing gradlew run task. Then, you can run a debugger that connects to this port using your favorite IDE (see an example for doing this with IntelliJ).
