Developing Zed
See the platform-specific instructions for building Zed from source:
If you'd like to develop collaboration features, additionally see:
Authentication
When developing Zed you will typically want to sign in to the production collab instance, unless you are specifically working on features that require running collab locally.
In order to bypass the keychain prompts that pop up when trying to sign in each time you run a development build of Zed, you can use the development auth provider.
This will store your Zed access token in a local file on disk that can be read in development, bypassing the need to retrieve the credential from the system keychain.
To enable the development auth provider, set this in your shell:
ZED_DEVELOPMENT_AUTH=1
You may want to add this to your shell profile so you don't need to remember to enable it each time.
Note: This only works for development builds. It is a no-op in all non-development release channels.
