# Objective
- Add file-level hyperlink support for opening and copying hyperlinks
for Git remote source control to project panel and tabs
- Unify the language for Git remote hyperlinks across blame, project
panels, and tabs to be similar to GitLens' definitions (which are
commonly used in VS Code)
## Solution
- Updated the Git crate to expose relevant metadata to surface new
options within the editor
- Added new options for `Open File on Remote` and `Copy Remote File URL`
to project panel/file explorer and file tabs

# Objective
Let git indicators — the editor gutter, file colors, and `git::Diff` —
show all changes on the current branch relative to its merge base with
the default branch, instead of only uncommitted changes.
Supersedes #60398; thanks to @samuelcolvin for the original
implementation and motivation.
Closes FR-135
## Solution
- New `git.diff_base` setting (`"head"` | `"default_branch"`), applied
live and toggleable per session from the editor controls menu ("Diff
Against Default Branch").
- Statuses come from a real merge-base-to-worktree tree diff (`git diff
--merge-base`), so local edits that revert branch changes correctly show
as unchanged.
- `GitStore` shares one `DiffBufferList` per repository with the Branch
Diff view; `repo_snapshots` and `project_path_git_status` keep returning
index/worktree truth, while display surfaces use separate `display_*`
APIs.
- `BufferDiff` now records what its base is (`DiffBaseKind`); hunks
whose base isn't HEAD are read-only in the gutter — stage/restore
buttons and keybindings are inert, so committed work can't be silently
rewritten.
- `git::Diff` follows the setting; new `git::DiffHead` always opens the
HEAD diff; `git::BranchDiff` is renamed `git::DiffBranch` (deprecated
alias kept).
Tradeoffs / known limitations:
- Hunk-level staging is unavailable while in `default_branch` mode
(whole-file staging via the git panel still works). Staging just the
uncommitted sub-ranges of a branch hunk is a follow-up.
- Remote hosts running an older server ignore the new
`GetTreeDiff.includes_worktree` proto field and degrade to
committed-changes-only branch diffs.
- Repositories with no resolvable default branch fall back to
HEAD-relative behavior; a failed first resolution retries on the next
branch-list change.
## Testing
- Real-git-repo tests for the merge-base-to-worktree diff's edge cases:
files recreated after index deletion, committed deletions recreated on
disk, and symlinks.
- GPUI tests for status semantics (a branch change reverted on disk
shows clean), `git::Diff` routing, live setting changes, and read-only
hunk enforcement (restore/stage leave buffer and index untouched).

Release Notes:
- Git: Added a `git.diff_base` setting (`"head"` or `"default_branch"`)
that makes the editor gutter, file colors, and diff view show all
changes on the current branch since its merge base with the default
branch, instead of only uncommitted changes.

The unstaged diff view introduced in the partially staged changes commit
only had a Stage button but no Restore option. This adds:
- A per-hunk Restore button in the inline hunk controls (disabled for
new files)
- A Restore button in the toolbar for selected hunks
- A Restore All button in the toolbar to discard all unstaged changes
- A restore method override on UnstagedDiffDelegate for the Restore
action
Release Notes:
- Added restore buttons to the unstaged diff view for discarding
unstaged changes.
# Objective
New unstaged and staged diffs were added in #46541 . However for
unstaged changes, only option available is to stage a change. It would
also be a common use case to restore the changes. (Like how it is done
in uncommitted changes).
## Solution
- A per-hunk Restore button in the inline hunk controls (disabled for
new files)
- A Restore button in the toolbar for selected hunks
- A Restore All button in the toolbar to discard all unstaged changes
- A restore method override on UnstagedDiffDelegate for the Restore
action
## Testing
Tested in locally and ensured both features work

This PR explores the addition of a new feature and UI to improve
visibility into partially staged commits.
Currently, the Git panel shows tracked and untracked changes, but it
does not clearly distinguish between staged and unstaged changes.
As a result, it’s difficult to quickly see which changes are not staged
in the current UI. Both staged and unstaged changes are combined into
the `Uncommitted Changes` multibuffer. This developer experience differs
from other editors, most notably VS Code; which presents separate Staged
Changes and Changes lists.
### Staged and unstaged diffs in multibuffers
This PR introduces an alternative UI for unstaged changes that aligns
with the overall Zed experience. Instead of showing changes on a
per-file basis, staged and unstaged diffs are each displayed in their
own multibuffers, similar to how `Uncommitted Changes` currently works.
For example the following screenshot shows the current `Uncommitted
Changes` on the left, the `Staged Changes` in the middle and the
`Unstaged Changes` buffer on the right for comparison
<img width="1408" height="859"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aa709f7a-041d-4cb1-95d6-84c0f5fff688"
/>
### Indicators/interactions
The new multibuffers can be opened in two ways:
1. Via a new `U` chip, which appears when a file has unstaged changes
2. Via new menu options
(See screenshots below for both interaction paths.)
<table>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;">
<p>via the chip</p>
<img
height="400"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3ef69f02-b787-499c-959a-25f50b3728e8"
alt="Via the chip"
/>
</td>
<td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;">
<p>via the menu</p>
<img
height="400"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f5be8b6d-ccdc-4420-bd29-75570b558016"
alt="Via the menu"
/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
### Design goals
- minimally intrusive UI changes (small new badge and menu items)
- adhere by Zed'ism (use multibuffer where possible)
- avoid disabling any current interactions (Uncommitted Changes ui is
unchanged)
- avoid introducing an app level view mode (no new settings needed)
### Experience goals
- make it easy to see what changes are not staged
- make it easy to see that a file has unstaged changes (avoid developers
accidently leaving out changes in a commit; a personal issue that I have
when using Zed)
- elegantly handle large file's unstaged changes (follows the same
collapse and expanding seen in `Uncommitted Changes`)
### How to try
- Clone the repo and run `cargo run`
- Make a change to a file and stage it
- Make another change to the file (the `U` indicator will appear)
- Click the `U` to see the unstaged view
### Open questions/rough edges
- [ ] determine if this user experience is useful for others
- [ ] ensure all interactions work as expected (response to all update
cases)
In general I'm really interested in hearing the community's feedback
about this interface, more than happy to make any changes or explore a
different solution!

● Closes#50285
## Summary
When `inline_blame` is disabled in settings and `editor::BlameHover` is
triggered,
the blame popover fails to appear on the first invocation because
`start_git_blame`
kicks off an async task to fetch blame data, but `blame_hover`
immediately tries to
read that data synchronously before it's available.
This fix registers a one-shot observation on the blame entity when it's
freshly
created, so the popover is shown once blame data has finished
generating.
Before you mark this PR as ready for review, make sure that you have:
- [x] Added a solid test coverage and/or screenshots from doing manual
testing
- [x] Done a self-review taking into account security and performance
aspects
- [ ] ~Aligned any UI changes with the [UI
checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)~

# Add status bar location for inline git blame
## Objective
- Closes#12133 by implementing the VS Code-like behavior for status bar
git blame
## Solution
Adds a VS Code–style option to render the current-line git blame in the
status bar instead of inline at the cursor.
Whats new
- A new location setting: Under the inline_blame configuration, you can
now choose between two options:
- `inline` (Default) — Keeps things exactly as they are, showing the
blame details at the end of your current line.
- `status_bar` — Moves the blame info down to the bottom status bar.
- The Status Bar Item: When you choose the status bar option, a clean
new button appears at the bottom left of your window. It features a Git
icon, the author's name, how long ago the change was made, and the
commit summary
- Behaves as it does before, but displayed at a different location
- Clicking the status bar item will instantly open up the full Git
commit details like at vscode
- Settings UI:
- The "Location" control is now a `DynamicItem` nested under "Enabled",
so it only appears when inline blame is enabled.
- Registers a dropdown renderer for `InlineBlameLocation`.
- Updates `all-settings.md` and `visual-customization.md` for the new
option.
## Testing
- Manually tested both modes by toggling `git.inline_blame.location`
between `inline` and `status_bar`:
- `inline` keeps the existing behavior unchanged.
- `status_bar` shows the blame for the focused line in the status bar,
hides the inline blame, updates on cursor movement, clears when no
editor is focused, and opens the blame commit on click.
- Verified the settings UI shows the "Location" dropdown only when
inline blame is enabled.
- Tested with `show_commit_summary` toggled when location is
`status_bar` (for inline location, nothing is changed)
Areas that could use more testing:
- Remote (collab) editors ?
Reviewers can test by setting the following in `settings.json` and
moving the cursor across blamed lines:
```json
{
"git": {
"inline_blame": {
"enabled": true,
"location": "status_bar"
}
}
}
```

Release Notes:
- Added a `git.inline_blame.location` setting to render current-line git
blame in the status bar instead of inline.
This PR changes how base texts are managed by the `buffer_diff` crate,
to enable keeping two diff entities alive that share the same base text
buffer entity. Previously, each diff owned its own base text buffer and
edited it when calling `BufferDiff::set_snapshot`, so the only way to
reuse the same base text between two diffs was to have two independent
buffers for it, which is pretty inefficient.
After this PR, each diff still has a base text buffer, but
`set_snapshot` doesn't edit it. Instead, that responsibility moves into
the caller. For updating the base text buffer, this PR also introduces a
new pair of APIs, `Buffer::snapshot_with_edits` and
`Buffer::fast_forward`, which allow us to move the parsing of the new
base text into the background and then install the new syntax tree
synchronously on the foreground.
The git store uses the low-level APIs `set_snapshot` and `fast_forward`
directly, and manages the head text and index text buffers itself
(garbage-collecting them when they're no longer needed); this enables
adding an `open_staged_diff` API which returns a diff between the
managed index buffer and the managed head buffer (the latter is also
used for the uncommitted diff's base text). Other downstreams don't need
to reuse a base text buffer, and those have been migrated to use the
high-level `set_base_text` API, which now calls `set_snapshot` and
`fast_forward` internally, with a guard to prevent concurrent updates.
Another change worthy of note is that we now always diff the old base
text with the new base text to create `snapshot_with_edits`.
There are also some incidental bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where a dangling weak unstaged diff could stick around
in the git store forever
- Restored the `IndexMatchesHead` optimization that had become
inoperative in the remote case
- Fixed a crash in the multibuffer due to the handling of
`BufferDiffEvent::LanguageChanged`, which could cause the multibuffer to
have transforms that were inconsistent with the diff base text.

## Summary
Follow-up to #56155. I extracted the remaining git related things (again
not all of them, leftovers are more tricky as there are git + fold +
some others things combined) into `git.rs`

## Summary
Follow-up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/55352,
where the conclusion was to split `editor.rs` incrementally by topic
instead of all at once.
This mechanically extracts two editor topics into focused sibling
modules:
- `crates/editor/src/input.rs`
- `crates/editor/src/git.rs`
The git extraction is intentionally partial for now. I left a lot of
related parts because otherwise the diff was super huge (over 9K lines)
in the Github, so we can move those parts later in the follow-up PRs

This adds a new version of the project diff editor to go alongside the
new git panel.
The basics seem to be working, but still todo:
* [ ] Fix untracked files
* [ ] Fix deleted files

This prototype is behind a feature flag and being merged to avoid
conflicts with further git-related resturctures.
To be a proper, public feature, this needs at least:
* showing deleted files
* better performance
* randomized tests
* `TODO`s in the `project_diff.rs` file fixed
The good thing is, >90% of the changes are in the `project_diff.rs` file
only, have a basic test and already work on simple cases.

This PR improves the display of diff hunks:
- Deleted hunks now show a regular line indicator in the gutter when
expanded
- The rounding on the diff indicators in the gutter has been removed.
We also did some refactoring to ensure the sizing of the diff indicators
in the gutter were consistent.

Added two new actions with the default keybindings
```
"cmd-'": "editor::ToggleHunkDiff",
"cmd-\"": "editor::ExpandAllHunkDiffs",
```
that allow to browse git hunk diffs in Zed:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/2690773/9a8a7d10-ed06-4960-b4ee-fe28fc5c4768
The hunks are dynamic and alter on user folds and modifications, or
toggle hidden, if the modifications were not adjacent to the expanded
hunk.
Release Notes:
- Added `editor::ToggleHunkDiff` (`cmd-'`) and
`editor::ExpandAllHunkDiffs` (`cmd-"`) actions to browse git hunk diffs
in Zed
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

This PR adds the ability to copy the permalink to a line from within
Zed.
This functionality is available through the `editor: copy permalink to
line` action in the command palette:
<img width="589" alt="Screenshot 2024-01-30 at 7 07 46 PM"
src="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/assets/1486634/332282cb-211f-4f16-9eb1-415bcfee9b7b">
Executing this action will create a permalink to the currently selected
line(s) and copy it to the clipboard.
Here is an example line:
```
https://github.com/maxdeviant/auk/blob/56c80e80112744740be1969c89fdd34db4be6f64/src/lib.rs#L25
```
Currently, both GitHub and GitLab are supported.
### Notes and known limitations
- In order to determine where to permalink to, we read the URL of the
`origin` remote in Git. This feature will not work if the `origin`
remote is not present.
- Attempting to permalink to a ref that is not pushed to the origin will
result in the link 404ing.
- Attempting to permalink when Git is in a dirty state may not generate
the right link.
- For instance, modifying a file (e.g., adding new lines) and grabbing a
permalink to it will result in incorrect line numbers.
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to copy a permalink to a line
([#6777](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/6777)).
- Available via the `editor: copy permalink to line` action in the
command palette.
