Zed
Welcome to Zed, a lightning-fast, collaborative code editor that makes your dreams come true.
Development tips
Dependencies
-
Install Postgres.app and start it.
-
Install the
LiveKit
server and theforeman
process supervisor:brew install livekit brew install foreman
-
Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory:
cd .. git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev
-
Set up a local
zed
database and seed it with some initial users:script/bootstrap
Testing against locally-running servers
Start the web and collab servers:
foreman start
If you want to run Zed pointed at the local servers, you can run:
script/zed-with-local-servers
# or...
script/zed-with-local-servers --release
Dump element JSON
If you trigger cmd-alt-i
, Zed will copy a JSON representation of the current window contents to the clipboard. You can paste this in a tool like DJSON to navigate the state of on-screen elements in a structured way.
Licensing
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing due to an unsupported license, first check whether this system is able to support this license type; ask a lawyer if you're unsure. Once you've verified the license, go to script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
and add the associated accepted
SPDX identifier. If cargo about cannot find the license for the dependency at all, add a clarification field at the end of the file, as specified in the cargo-about book.
Wasm Plugins
Zed has a Wasm-based plugin runtime which it currently uses to embed plugins. To compile Zed, you'll need to have the wasm32-wasi
toolchain installed on your system. To install this toolchain, run:
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
Plugins can be found in the plugins
folder in the root. For more information about how plugins work, check the Plugin Guide in crates/plugin_runtime/README.md
