G-code

Software-default.png
File Extension(s): .gcode / .g
Type: machine control commands
Software: e.g. Cura, text editor
Machines: 3D printers, CNC mill
Repositories: nope - machine-specific!

G-code is frequently used in CNC to control the moving/heating/spinning parts of the tool according to the user's instructions. As it is generated for a specific machine, it is rarely a good idea to use old or foreign G-code!

Besides G-code generators like Cura you may need single commands now and then - there is an exhaustive overview in the RepRapWiki.
