The bash rcfile replays what a login shell would have sourced, and the tests checked that by counting how many times `~/.bashrc` ran. That number cannot see a rung of the chain falling out: the unconditional source at the end runs `.bashrc` whether the profile was read or not, so deleting the `.bash_login` arm entirely left the count at one and every test passed — checked by mutating the arm out, which is how this was found. Each startup file now leaves its own mark, and the cases assert both counts. The same mutation fails now, naming the file that was never read. Three shapes join the two already covered, all from real setups the chain has to walk: a forward one file further in (the wrapper has to survive being called from inside another sourced file, which is where a split-up dotfile collection puts it), a bare `source ~/.bashrc`, and `.bash_login` on both the forwarding and the non-forwarding side. Checked against real bash and real zsh in a throwaway HOME: every shape sources `~/.bashrc` exactly once, and the zsh redirectors reproduce stock zsh's file set and order — including a user `.zshenv` that relocates ZDOTDIR, whose real `.zshrc` is read and whose `$HOME/.zshrc` is not.
tty7
A terminal workbench: persistent sessions, remote work, agents.
Pure Rust · GPU rendering on Zed's gpui · VT core from Alacritty
English · 简体中文
Why
- Performance — ~2× the throughput of Alacritty, Ghostty, or Kitty (benchmarks)
- Persistent sessions — quit the app and your shells keep running; after a reboot the layout comes back and supported agent conversations resume, no tmux
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine
- Native SSH — profiles, SFTP, port forwarding, and jump hosts
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, git context
- CLI + Skills — agents create panes, run commands, and inspect output
