## Summary Fixes the git commit template not loading in remote (SSH) projects. The `load_commit_template_text` method in `git_store.rs` was a no-op for `RepositoryState::Remote`, always returning `Ok(None)`. This patch adds a `LoadCommitTemplate` RPC so the client can ask the remote host to read its `commit.template` git config and return the file contents — mirroring the existing `GetBlobContent` pattern. ## Changes - **`crates/proto/proto/git.proto`** — new `LoadCommitTemplate` / `LoadCommitTemplateResponse` messages. - **`crates/proto/proto/zed.proto`** — registered envelope IDs 449/450. - **`crates/proto/src/proto.rs`** — wired up message priority, request pairing, and entity-message routing. - **`crates/project/src/git_store.rs`** — added `handle_load_commit_template` on the host side; replaced the `Ok(None)` no-op on the remote side with the RPC call. ## Self-Review Checklist - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments — *no unsafe code added* - [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) — *no UI changes* - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior — *see "Testing notes" below* - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable — *one extra RPC on commit panel open for remote projects only; payload is a single optional string* ## Testing notes — why no automated test I did write an integration test (`test_remote_git_commit_template` in `collab/tests/integration/git_tests.rs`, modeled after `test_remote_git_head_sha`) along with the supporting changes to `FakeGitRepositoryState` (adding a `commit_template` field + `set_commit_template_for_repo` setter on `FakeFs`, since the fake hardcoded `load_commit_template` to `None`). The test compiled and the smaller crates (`fs`, `proto`, `project`) checked clean, but `cargo test -p collab --test collab_tests` cold-compile takes a very long time on my machine and I wasn't able to confirm the test actually passed locally. Rather than push a test I hadn't seen pass, I removed it. Happy to add it back in a follow-up PR (or in this one if reviewers prefer) once I can run the collab suite end-to-end — the diff is small and I can share it on request. Verification was done end-to-end manually using a Docker dev container as the SSH remote: #### Closes #55265 Video : [Screencast from 2026-05-02 18-09-03.webm](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/9cb7f375-57fa-4af3-bde4-871c28f61efc) Release Notes: - Added support for loading git commit template messages in both remote and collab projects. --------- Co-authored-by: dino <dinojoaocosta@gmail.com>
