Zed

Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor designed from the ground up for speed and collaboration. Created by the team behind Atom, Electron, and Tree-sitter, Zed represents over 15 years of experience building developer tools.

Written entirely in Rust, Zed efficiently uses multiple CPU cores and GPU acceleration to deliver zero-lag performance. Every feature has been built to advance what's possible in a code editor. The editor includes native Git integration, debugging support, project-wide search, and advanced text editing features.

What makes Zed special is its real-time collaboration system. Multiple developers can work in the same project simultaneously, share screens, chat, and pair program seamlessly. The AI features include code predictions, completions, and assistance powered by Zeta, their open-source language model. Zed supports many programming languages through Tree-sitter and Language Server Protocol, making it versatile for any development project.

Getting started with Zed is simple and straightforward. Download the editor from zed.dev for macOS or Linux, or install it via your package manager. Windows support is coming through community efforts.
