 # SCoLTE - Simple Command-Line Text Editor
 I just wanted to edit text files from terminal, not to memorize a ton of weird shortcuts for nano or vim. So here it is - easy to use text editor.
+
+## Dependencies
+Included as git submodules:
++ [cbuild](https://github.com/Timerix22/cbuild) - my build system written in shell scripts
++ [kerep](https://github.com/Timerix22/kerep) - library with code i use in all my projects
++ [utf8proc](https://github.com/Timerix22/utf8proc/tree/my_branch) - unicode processing library
++ [resource_embedder](https://github.com/Timerix22/resource_embedder) - program that transforms files to array definitions in C
