Hello everyone!

I want to show geomman, a TUI that allows creating partitions and file systems (for the moment: UFS, EXT2, 3, 4, FAT16, 32, exFAT, and NTFS). I've been working on this for the last few months, and with the help of Robert Clausecker and Alfonso Siciliano, we have now published a port.

The port is available on FreshPorts [1] 

I would like everyone to give it a try. It is based on sade [2] (the same tool in the FreeBSD installer). So I extended sade and added new features like copying/pasting partitions, labeling new partitions through glabel, and creating more file system types. If you have any questions, you can read the README.md [3]. 

Any question, issue, bug, feature request, or feedback is more than welcome! Please don't second-guess, and you may open an issue on the repo [4], send an email to [5] or [6], or jump into geomman's IRC (libera.chat) server #freebsd-geomman [7] (choose whatever you want).

We'll continue adding more features (like complete ZFS handling).

This work is sponsored by Google through Google Summer of Code [8].

Best,
Braulio Rivas
