Every other --color in the cargo spec reads "Coloring: auto, always, never"; add and remove had none, so the one flag that appears on nearly every cargo subcommand explained itself everywhere except the two newest. The spec's other cargo gaps are left alone on purpose. They are not unwritten text: `cargo tree --no-dev-dependencies`, `--prefix-depth`, `--no-indent` and the `vendor` flags beside them are from the old cargo-tree subcommand and current cargo has no such flags, while `cargo config get` is undescribed in cargo's own help. Writing prose for those would document flags that do not exist.
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
