The palette's Git group held commit, stage, unstage, discard, sync, push, pull, fetch and the branch verbs. `ScmCommitAmend`, `ScmRefresh` and `ScmToggleGraph` were bindable and unreachable from it. A group that is nine tenths complete is worse than one that is obviously partial: the three missing did not read as "not in the palette", they read as features that do not exist. The command-palette page says every action is in there "whether or not it has a keybinding", which for this group was very nearly true. All three go through the path their neighbours already use — `run_scm_action` with an `ScmIntent` that existed, and `scm_toggle_graph` for the view half — so nothing new happens, it is the same dispatch reached a second way. Amend is no more exposed than what was already there; `ScmDiscardAll` has been a palette command all along. The labels are the ones the Keybindings page already shows for these actions, so the two surfaces name them identically. The guard is scoped to Git deliberately. Plenty of actions belong nowhere near a palette — `HideApp`, `InsertNewline`, the numbered tab and workspace families — so the whole-app version of that claim is prose, not a contract. One coherent group either is complete or is not, and this holds every bindable `Scm*` action to being reachable. It matches through `key_spec` rather than by variant name, so a command spelled differently from its action — `OpenBranchPicker` for `ScmCheckoutBranch` — still counts. `the_git_group_is_its_own_section` counted ten and now counts thirteen. That number is a forcing function, not a fact worth knowing: adding a Git verb should be deliberate, and bumping it is how that is confirmed.
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
A background server owns your shells and panes — not the window. Everything below follows from that.
- 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
- Agent-aware — Claude Code, Codex & co.: status, notifications, and git context for every repo at once
- Scriptable by agents — one agent opens a pane for another, hands off a task, waits, and reads the result, with or without the GUI running
- Editor-grade input — suggestions, completion, highlighting, history search, with no plugin to install
- Remote development — files, repos, panes, and git data stay on the remote machine, over a native SSH stack
- Git beside the terminal — source control, diffs, and worktrees without leaving the window

| Window | tabs & splits · ⌘ P palette · ⌘ F scrollback search · ⌘ J panel with process tree and listening ports · 13 themes, your own YAML, iTerm2 import · IME |
| Shell integration | injected when a pane starts, nothing to install · prompt marks · working directory · exit codes · command-finished notifications · zsh, bash, fish, PowerShell, WSL, remote panes |
| Remote workspaces | remote files, repos, changes, diffs, worktrees, tabs, and panes · reconnect from any client and continue where you left off |
| SSH | native russh stack: profiles with keychain secrets · SFTP panel · port forwarding · jump hosts · one-time, unprivileged tty7-server install |
| Git | panel follows the focused pane · stage, commit, amend, branch, push, stash · side-by-side or unified diffs · commit graph with cherry-pick, revert, and reset · a new worktree opens its own tab |
Supported agents
Detection is free: brand avatar, branch + diff, tab title.
Status takes one click under Settings → Agents to install that agent's hook,
and brings the status dot, notifications, the tray icon, tty7 wait, and resume
after a reboot. Fork needs both — the agent's own fork command, and the hook
that tells tty7 which session to fork.

None of them are wrapped or proxied — the agent you start is the agent you get,
in a normal PTY, with its own interface. An agent launched through a wrapper
script can be mapped to one by name with agent_commands in config.json.
