One cache of what each repository looks like, one way to change it, one way to say that is now stale. The panel, the file tree's decorations and the `.git` watcher all build on this, and they are being written in parallel — landing the contract first is what keeps them from each inventing their own. Kept apart from git_status deliberately. That cache answers a cheap question for a tab badge on every cwd change and every command boundary, for every pane. This one runs `status --porcelain=v2 -uall`, which is seconds on a large repository, and only while something is looking. Folding them would put the expensive probe on the cheap trigger. Invalidation is by epoch, not by key: working out which entries a `git add` touched is a losing game, and a counter per repository cannot miss one. run_git_op also caps concurrent network operations per host at two. The far side serves every request from one worker pool and keepalive's Ping queues behind the rest of it, so enough concurrent pushes and the link is declared dead — the client is the only place that can hold the number down.
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
