tgdb

Welcome

tgdb is a lightweight terminal-based interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). In addition to the standard GDB console, tgdb provides a split-screen view that displays the source code as it executes. The keyboard interface is modeled after Vim, so Vim users should feel at home using tgdb.

tgdb is heavily inspired by cgdb. It reuses cgdb's documentation and webpages where appropriate, and aims to be fully compatible with cgdb's configuration files, commands, and key bindings.
