A row of its own between the title and the message box. Not the title's trailing slot: off macOS the tab tiles render after it, and a branch name is the elastic element here — it would be the first thing squeezed. A branch level with its upstream says nothing at all. The quiet state is the common one, and a chip that is always there stops being read; ahead, behind and "publish" are the three things worth interrupting for, plus the sequencer operation the repository is parked in and the amend badge. Interactive and plain rebase read the same, because git writes `rebase-merge/interactive` for every rebase and the distinction is not one the repository on disk can make. The branch name opens the switcher, which lists the local branches from `for-each-ref`, re-read whenever anything could have moved a ref. Naming a new branch is an inline input rather than a dialog: `window.prompt` only offers buttons, and there is no modal component to reach for. The root every operation runs from is now resolved with its own `rev-parse` rather than borrowed from the cheap per-tab cache. That cache holds a repository's *home*, which is a different directory inside a linked worktree, and it is only filled in for panes whose shell reports a cwd — the panel would have sat on "Loading…" forever without one. Two render-idle tests hold the panel to asking git once and then going quiet, over a real repository and over a directory that is not one. The hazard they cover is specific: `scm_refresh` reaches for its cache through `default_global` from inside `render`, so a watcher that notified on every global write would ask for a frame from inside a frame forever.
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 or reboot; your shells and supported agent sessions keep running, 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
