Since #28065 merged we've seen deadlocks inside iconv when opening Zed
in a repository containing many submodules. These calls to iconv happen
inside libgit2, in our implementations of the methods `head_sha`,
`merge_head_shas`, and `show` on `RealGitRepository`. This PR moves
those methods to use the git CLI instead, sidestepping the issue. For
the sake of efficiency, a new `revparse_batch` method is added that uses
`git cat-file` to resolve several ref names in one invocation. I
originally intended to make `show` operate in batch mode as well (or
instead), but I can't see a good way to do that with the git CLI; `git
show` always bails on the first ref that it can't resolve, and
`for-each-ref` doesn't support symbolic refs like `HEAD`.
Separately, I removed the calls to `show` in `MergeDetails::load`, going
back to only loading the SHAs of the various merge heads. Loading full
commit details was intended to support the inlays feature that ended up
being cut from #28065, and we can add it back in when we need it.

The ideal solution here would be the ability to pick a default remote
the first time you click on a PR or commit link from a blame, and then
store that state in the repo or project and allow you to change it
somehow.
Because that's complicated, and because the vast majority of users
follow the convention of using `upstream` and `origin`, this change just
adds `upstream` as a possible remote that takes precedence for
generating links. I've sometimes seen `origin` and `fork` used for the
same purposes, which will still work fine with this change.
Here are some sources recommending the `upstream`/`origin` convention:
-
https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/comparing-workflows/forking-workflow
-
https://github.blog/open-source/git/git-2-5-including-multiple-worktrees-and-triangular-workflows/
- https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_repo_fork
The fact that the github cli renames them to those when you `gh repo
fork` is pretty strong evidence that it's worth supporting them even if
users can set arbitrary remote names or could actually want to open a PR
link on their fork.
Resolves#13511
Release Notes:
- Git blame links now prefer the `upstream` remote over `origin` if it
exists.

If you attempt to load a git diff which includes a non utf-8 file,
previously
(1) the entire contents of the file was logged as ordinals and
(2) a second spurious error was logged
```
2025-04-07T16:21:28.392845-04:00 [ERROR] FromUtf8Error { bytes: [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 19, 1, 0, 0, 4, 0, 48, 68, 83, 73, 71, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 241, 204, 0, 0, 0, 8, 71, 68, 69, 70, 164, 172, 164, ...

Having 1MB binary file in a commit would generate ~3MB-5MB of log
output.

This PR adds functionality for loading the diff for an arbitrary git
commit, and displaying it in a tab. To retrieve the diff for the commit,
I'm using a single `git cat-file --batch` invocation to efficiently load
both the old and new versions of each file that was changed in the
commit.
Todo
* Features
* [x] Open the commit view when clicking the most recent commit message
in the commit panel
* [x] Open the commit view when clicking a SHA in a git blame column
* [x] Open the commit view when clicking a SHA in a commit tooltip
* [x] Make it work over RPC
* [x] Allow buffer search in commit view
* [x] Command palette action to open the commit for the current blame
line
* Styling
* [x] Add a header that shows the author, timestamp, and the full commit
message
* [x] Remove stage/unstage buttons in commit view
* [x] Truncate the commit message in the tab
* Bugs
* [x] Dedup commit tabs within a pane
* [x] Add a tooltip to the tab
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to show past commits in Zed. You can view the most
recent commit by clicking its message in the commit panel. And when
viewing a git blame, you can show any commit by clicking its sha.
Fixes running git push on a coder instance.
Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- Zed will now use `GIT_ASKPASS` if you already have one set instead of
overriding with our own. Fixes `git push` in Coder.
This is one of the causes for race conditions, but isn't a specific bug fix by itself.

This PR reworks the `FakeGitRepository` type that we use for testing git
interactions, to make it more realistic. In particular, the `status`
method now derives the Git status from the differences between HEAD, the
index, and the working copy. This way, if you modify a file in the
`FakeFs`, the Git repository's `status` method will reflect that
modification.

This is the core change:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26758/files#diff-044302c0d57147af17e68a0009fee3e8dcdfb4f32c27a915e70cfa80e987f765R1052
TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code
Release Notes:

Closes#26472
Release Notes:
- On macOS, switched to using the system's git binary to create commits.
This fixes issues that some users were seeing with pre-commit hooks.
Compatibility note: after this change, it is no longer possible to
commit from Zed unless git is installed.
This moves spawning of the git subprocess to the main thread. We're not
yet
sure why, but when we spawn a process using GCD's background queues,
sub-processes like git-credential-manager fail to open windows.
This seems to be fixable either by using the main thread, or by using a
standard background thread,
but for now we use the main thread.
Release Notes:
- Git: Fix git-credential-manager

The notifications from git output could take up variable amounts of
screen space, and they were quite obnoxious when a git command printed
lots of output, such as fetching many new branches or verbose push
hooks.
This change makes the push/pull/fetch buttons trigger a small
notification toast, based on the output of the command that was ran. For
errors or commands with more output the user may want to see, there's an
"Open Log" button which opens a new buffer with the output of that
command.
It also uses this behavior for long error notifications for other git
commands like `commit` and `checkout`. The output of those commands can
be quite long due to arbitrary githooks running.

This PR finishes up the support for generating commit messages using an
LLM.
We're shelling out to `git diff` to get the diff text, as it seemed more
efficient than attempting to reconstruct the diff ourselves from our
internal Git state.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9bcf30a7-7a08-4f49-a753-72a5d954bddd
Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Added support for generating commit messages using a
language model.

Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Fixed a bug where discarding a hunk in the project diff view
performed two concurrent saves of the buffer.
- Git Beta: Fixed an issue where diff hunks appeared in the wrong state
after failing to write to the git index.
Closes#25976
There's a couple states that this covers:
- upon `git init`, no footer is shown at all
- after 1 commit (or when on any parentless commit), the uncommit button
is ~disabled~ hidden
- otherwise commit button is shown
Also updated the button with "meta" tooltip showing human readable
description and git command.

### Problem
When using HTTPS remotes, users are getting errors when trying to push
or pull via the git panel.
On macOS, Zed bundles a `git` binary that's part of
[`dugite-native`](https://github.com/desktop/dugite-native). But we
don't include the entire package. Additional binaries from
`dugite-native` are needed for pulling and pushing over HTTPS.
### Solution
Rather than bundling those additional binaries, I've changed the `push`,
`pull`, and `fetch` actions to rely on the *system-installed* `git`
binary. The downside of this is that, if the user does not have Git
installed, they wont' be able to push, pull, or fetch from within Zed.
But we believe that the vast majority of users will have Git installed.
Also, unlike `diff` and `status`, which Zed needs to call in the
background without any user interaction, `push`/`pull` and `fetch` are
explicit actions that the user takes in Zed, so there is an opportunity
to prompt them to install Git if they haven't.
### Background
There are three ways (that I know of) that users might authenticate when
pushing, pulling, or fetching over HTTPS.
1. Via a built-in [Git
`credential.helper`](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials). On macOS,
Git ships with a helper called `credential-osxkeychain` that stores
internet passwords in the OS Keychain. You can opt into this globally
with the command `git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain`,
which writes to your `~/.gitconfig`.
2. Via [`Git Credential Manager`
(GCM)](https://github.com/git-ecosystem/git-credential-manager), which
is a different `credential.helper`, [built by
GitHub](https://github.blog/security/application-security/git-credential-manager-authentication-for-everyone/),
which must be installed manually, and integrates with specific Git
hosting providers like GitHub and Azure.
3. By typing their Username and Password/Access-token interactively when
pushing/pulling/fetching.
### Testing Status
* [ ] 🚫 Interactive password auth - not yet supported, requires
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/25848
* [x] **credential-osxkeychain** - when using the built-in credential
helper, and the credentials are already stored in the keychain,
push/pull/fetch now work fine .
* [ ] **GCM** - still testing.
* Right now, I'm seeing `git-credential-manager` just hang indefinitely
when pushing from Zed, even though it works when pushing from a
terminal.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR updates the ui of the git panel. It removes the header from the
panel and unifies the repository, branch and commit controls in the
bottom section.
It also adds a secondary menu to the primary button giving access to a
variety of actions for managing local and remote changes:

Known issues (will be fixed in a later pr)
- Spinner showing git operation progress was removed, will be re-added
- Clicking expand with the panel editor focused will commit (due to
shared action name. Already tracked)
Before | After

(Also adds `component`, `linkme` to cargo-machete ignore as they are
used in the `IntoComponent` proc-macro and will always be incorrectly
flagged as unused)
