https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`

This change makes the git panel and project panel behave the same, on
Linux and macOS, and adds prompts.
Release Notes:
- Changed the git panel to prompt before restoring a file.
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 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.

Release Notes:
- Git Beta: Added support for generating commit messages using a
language model.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/25865
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/25915
In the issue, Zed had caused `.git/lfs/tmp/466102258`-like files to
appear in the directory, which lead to background FS event listener to
handle this as an update, incrementing snapshot's `scan_id`, which lead
to git status rescan, which caused another increment to `status_scan_id`
— incrementing either of the IDs causes the related repo data to be
considered "changed:
41b45eaba7/crates/worktree/src/worktree.rs (L1590-L1605)
hence propagating events to the other parts of the system (e.g. git
blame, which was also active in the issue's case)
```
[2025-03-01T20:01:08+01:00 DEBUG worktree] ignoring event ".git/lfs/tmp/466102258" within unloaded directory
[2025-03-01T20:01:08+01:00 DEBUG worktree] received fs events []

```
Due to repo update events sent, another `.git/lfs/tmp/` entry is
created, things start over...
The PR fixes this by ignoring any `.git/lfs/` directory-related FS
events, as needed for the current git status update heuristics.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/25915 tried to follow further
and `scan_id` and `status_scan_id` but we do not store all git state in
memory, e.g. head
e0060b92cc/crates/editor/src/editor_tests.rs (L13686)
as
[tests](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/actions/runs/13631960559/job/38101504549?pr=25915)
show.
Release Notes:
- Improved `.git` scan heuristics
This PR adds the `whole_excerpt` field to the actions:
- `git::StageAndNext`
- `git::UnstageAndNext`
Which is set by false by default, effectively, now staging and unstaging
with these actions is done hunk-by-hunk, this also affects the `Stage`
and
`Unstage` buttons in the Diff View toolbar.
A caveat: with this PR, there is no way to configure the buttons in the
Diff
View toolbar to restore the previous behavior, if we want, I think we
can make
it a setting, but let's see if anyone really wants that.
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)

Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- Rename `editor::RevertSelectedHunks` and `editor::RevertFile` to
`git::Restore` and `git::RestoreFile` for consistency with git
Adds the non-entry specific right click menu to the panel, and the
features contained therin:
* Stage all
* Discard Tracked Changes
* Trash Untracked Files
Also changes the naming from "Changes"/"New" to better match Git's
terminology (though not convinced on this, it was awkward to describe
"Discard Changes" without a way to distinguish between the changes and
the files containing them).
Release Notes:
- N/A
Git Panel updates:
* Fixes commit/commit all button to work (and be disabled correctly in
merge conflict status)
* Updates keyboard shortcuts and sets focus on the button (enter now
does the same as click; tab cycles between editor and change list)

This is a refactoring PR that does three things:
- First, it introduces a new `diff` crate that holds the previous
contents of the `git::diff` module, plus the `BufferChangeSet` type
formerly of `project::buffer_store`. The new crate is necessary since
simply moving `BufferChangeSet` into `git::diff` results in a dependency
cycle due to the use of `language::Buffer` to represent the diff base in
`BufferChangeSet`.
- Second, it renames the two main types in the new diff crate:
`BufferDiff` becomes `BufferDiffSnapshot`, and `BufferChangeSet` becomes
`BufferDiff`. This reflects that the relationship between these two
types (immutable cheaply-cloneable "value" type + stateful "resource
type" with subscriptions) mirrors existing pairs like
`Buffer`/`BufferSnapshot`. References to "change sets" throughout the
codebase are updated to refer to "diffs" instead.
- Finally, it moves the base_text field of the new BufferDiff type to
BufferDiffSnapshot.

- N/A

This PR removes the `em_width` and `em_advance` parameters to
`EditorSnapshot::gutter_dimensions` in favor of computing the values
inside of it.
In practice all of the callers were passing in the same values, and
there isn't a circumstance where we would want to pass in different
values.
`gutter_dimensions` has also been modified to return
`Option<GutterDimensions>` instead of `GutterDimensions` so that we can
remove some `.unwrap`s when interacting with the text system.
Release Notes:
- N/A
A preparation for collaborative commit message editing.
Before, almost any `.git`-contained file FS update, except
`.git/fsmonitor--daemon/cookies/**` caused git metadata rescan.
This included `index.lock` that was created after any git operation,
e.g. `git status`, which was unnecessary.
Collaborative editing aims to share `.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG` between
multiple users, so there are potentially multiple users editing the file
and causing excessive events.
The change makes worktree to ignore .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG`,
`.git/index.lock` and `.git/fsmonitor--daemon/**` paths and adjusts the
logic to be more extensible: there's much more files Zed can ignore and
still have its git metadata up to date.
Release Notes:
- N/A
There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs
### issues post merge
- [x] Issues switching between normal and insert mode

This PR improves the parsing of Git remote URLs in order to make
features that depend on them more robust.
Previously we were just treating these as plain strings and doing
one-off shotgun parsing to massage them into the right format. This
meant that we weren't accounting for edge cases in URL structure.
One of these cases was HTTPS Git URLs containing a username, which can
arise when using GitHub Enterprise (see
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/11160).
We now have a `RemoteUrl` typed to represent a parsed Git remote URL and
use the `Url` parser to parse it.
Release Notes:
- Improved the parsing of Git remote URLs to support additional
scenarios.
Fixes#16404 by ignoring events coming from
.git/fsmonitor--daemon/cookies subdirectory.
Closes#16404
Release Notes:
- Improved performance in repositories using Git fsmonitor--daemon
feature.
Closes#15860
Since rust std now supports LazyLock replacing lazy_static with it
reduce the external dependency.

I realized that somehow, the `git` executable is able to compute `git
status` much more quickly than libgit2, so I've switched our git status
logic to use `git`. Follow-up to
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/12266.
Release Notes:
- Improved the performance of git status updated when working in large
git repositories.
This PR increases the length of a shortened Git SHA from 6 to 7
characters.
This matches what GitHub uses.
I also took the opportunity to factor out a common method for computing
a short SHA so that we have a single source of truth for the length that
we're using.
Release Notes:
- Increased the short commit SHA length used by git blame from 6 to 7
characters.
This PR adds a registry for `GitHostingProvider`s.
The intent here is to help decouple these provider-specific concerns
from the lower-level `git` crate.
Similar to languages, the Git hosting providers live in the new
`git_hosting_providers` crate.
This work also lays the foundation for if we wanted to allow defining a
`GitHostingProvider` from within an extension. This could be useful if
we wanted to extend the support to work with self-hosted Git providers
(like GitHub Enterprise).
I also took the opportunity to move some of the provider-specific code
out of the `util` crate, since it had leaked into there.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR refactors the code pertaining to Git hosting providers to make
it more uniform and easy to add support for new providers.
There is now a `GitHostingProvider` trait that contains the
functionality specific to an individual Git hosting provider. Each
provider we support has an implementation of this trait.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This adds a new action to the editor: `editor: toggle git blame`. When
used it turns on a sidebar containing `git blame` information for the
currently open buffer.
The git blame information is updated when the buffer changes. It handles
additions, deletions, modifications, changes to the underlying git data
(new commits, changed commits, ...), file saves. It also handles folding
and wrapping lines correctly.
When the user hovers over a commit, a tooltip displays information for
the commit that introduced the line. If the repository has a remote with
the name `origin` configured, then clicking on a blame entry opens the
permalink to the commit on the code host.
Users can right-click on a blame entry to get a context menu which
allows them to copy the SHA of the commit.
The feature also works on shared projects, e.g. when collaborating a
peer can request `git blame` data.
As of this PR, Zed now comes bundled with a `git` binary so that users
don't have to have `git` installed locally to use this feature.
### Screenshots



### TODOs
- [x] Bundling `git` binary
### Release Notes
Release Notes:
- Added `editor: toggle git blame` command that toggles a sidebar with
git blame information for the current buffer.
