What is Geany?
Geany is a small and lightweight Integrated Development Environment. It was developed to provide a small and fast IDE, which has only a few dependencies from other packages. Another goal was to be as independent as possible from a special Desktop Environment like KDE or GNOME - Geany only requires the GTK2 runtime libraries.
Geany is a tool in the Integrated Development Environment category of a tech stack.
Geany is an open source tool with 3K GitHub stars and 579 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Geany's open source repository on GitHub
