In their own words
CodeLite
CodeLite is a free, open-source IDE for C, C++, Rust, PHP, and Node.js; project materials also identify Python development as a focus. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its core tools include smart completion, code navigation, a built-in debugger, Git integration, and a plugin system. Configured language servers can add completion, go-to-definition, and reference search. The Git plugin covers cloning, staging, commits, pushes, pulls, branches, diffs, and history. PHP tools include XDebug debugging, syntax checks, refactoring, project management, and SFTP synchronization. The Remoty plugin supports remote coding tasks including building, execution, debugging, Git, and project management. References to classes, functions, and files in Claude Code and Kiro CLI can be opened in the editor. CodeLite is distributed under GPLv2, with an exception allowing third-party plugins to use other licenses. The Git plugin requires Git to be installed separately.
