Continues the work from #35927 to add a git diff view for stash entries.
[Screencast From 2025-09-17

Stash entries are [represented as
commits](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stash#_discussion) except they
have up to 3 parents:
```
.----W (this is the stash entry)
/ /|
-----H----I |
\|
U
```
Where `H` is the `HEAD` commit, `I` is a commit that records the state
of the index, and `U` is another commit that records untracked files
(when using `git stash -u`).
Given this, I modified the existing commit view struct to allow loading
stash and commits entries with git sha identifier so that we can get a
similar git diff view for both of them.
The stash diff is generated by comparing the stash commit with its
parent (`<commit>^` or `H` in the diagram) which generates the same diff
as doing `git stash show -p <stash entry>`. This *can* be
counter-intuitive since a user may expect the comparison to be made
between the stash commit and the current commit (`HEAD`), but given that
the default behavior in git cli is to compare with the stash parent, I
went for that approach.
Hoping to get some feedback from a Zed team member to see if they agree
with this approach.
Release Notes:
- Add git diff view for stash entries
- Add toolbar on git diff view for stash entries
- Prompt before executing a destructive stash action on diff view
- Fix commit view for merge commits (see #38289)
We've been considering removing workspace-hack for a couple reasons:
- Lukas ran into a situation where its build script seemed to be causing
spurious rebuilds. This seems more likely to be a cargo bug than an
issue with workspace-hack itself (given that it has an empty build
script), but we don't necessarily want to take the time to hunt that
down right now.
- Marshall mentioned hakari interacts poorly with automated crate
updates (in our case provided by rennovate) because you'd need to have
`cargo hakari generate && cargo hakari manage-deps` after their changes
and we prefer to not have actions that make commits.
Currently removing workspace-hack causes our workspace to grow from
~1700 to ~2000 crates being built (depending on platform), which is
mainly a problem when you're building the whole workspace or running
tests across the the normal and remote binaries (which is where
feature-unification nets us the most sharing). It doesn't impact
incremental times noticeably when you're just iterating on `-p zed`, and
we'll hopefully get these savings back in the future when
rust-lang/cargo#14774 (which re-implements the functionality of hakari)
is finished.

std commands can block for an arbitrary duration and so runs risk of
blocking tasks for too long. This replaces all such uses where sensible
with async processes.

### Background
On Windows, paths are normally separated by `\`, unlike mac and linux
where they are separated by `/`. When editing code in a project that
uses a different path style than your local system (e.g. remoting from
Windows to Linux, using WSL, and collaboration between windows and unix
users), the correct separator for a path may differ from the "native"
separator.
Previously, to work around this, Zed converted paths' separators in
numerous places. This was applied to both absolute and relative paths,
leading to incorrect conversions in some cases.
### Solution
Many code paths in Zed use paths that are *relative* to either a
worktree root or a git repository. This PR introduces a dedicated type
for these paths called `RelPath`, which stores the path in the same way
regardless of host platform, and offers `Path`-like manipulation APIs.
RelPath supports *displaying* the path using either separator, so that
we can display paths in a style that is determined at runtime based on
the current project.
The representation of absolute paths is left untouched, for now.
Absolute paths are different from relative paths because (except in
contexts where we know that the path refers to the local filesystem)
they should generally be treated as opaque strings. Currently we use a
mix of types for these paths (std::path::Path, String, SanitizedPath).

In some rare cases, the auto-generated block gets stuck in
`.git/info/exclude`. We now auto-clean it.
Closes#38374
Release Notes:
- Remove auto-generated block from git excludes if it gets stuck there.
Closes #ISSUE
This PR continues work from #32821 by adding a stash entry picker for
pop/drop operations. Additionally, the stash pop action in the git panel
is now disabled when no stash entries exist, preventing error logs from
attempted pops on empty stashes.

Release Notes:
- Added a stash picker to pop and drop a specific stash entry
- Disabled the stash pop action on the git panel when no stash entries
exist
- Added git stash apply command
- Added git stash drop command
When working on the git stash picker PR (#35927) I notice that my test
was detected as a binary file on the git diff view and on GitHub. This
was due to the fact that I was using the literal char \0 (instead of a
proper representation like `\x00` or `\u{0000}`) character in my test
strings. This causes problems with git diff and GitHub's diff viewer,
and a reviewer might even assume that the file is corrupted, not
viewable or even malicious.
Looking at the rest of the codebase, only at `crates/git/src/commit.rs`
this character was used, so I replaced it with `\x00` which is a more
common representation of the null character in Rust strings.
It can also be seen that the PR that introduced this code, can't be
viewed properly on Github:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/27636/files#diff-31114f0b22306b467482573446f71c638277510b442a10e60dd9a8667ccd93c3
Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- Use `\x00` representation instead of literal null character in strings
to improve compatibility with git diff and GitHub's diff viewer.
Since the file is not viewable from the "Files changed" tab on Github,
this is the changed code:
dcd743aca4/crates/git/src/commit.rs (L66-L74)
This works around a bug wherein inline git blame is unavailable for
files with CRLF line endings. At the same time, this prevents users from
seeing whitespace-only changes in the editor's git blame
Closes#35836

This PR adds preliminary git clone support through using the new
`GitClone` action. This works with SSH connections too.
- [x] Get backend working
- [x] Add a UI to interact with this
Future follow-ups:
- Polish the UI
- Have the path select prompt say "Select Repository clone target"
instead of “Open”
- Use Zed path prompt if the user has that as a setting
- Add support for cloning from a user's GitHub repositories directly
Release Notes:
- Add the ability to clone remote git repositories through the `git:
Clone` action

This reverts commit efba2cbfd3.
Unfortunately, the Docker image for 1.89 has not shown up yet. Once it
has, we should re-land this.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes#33700
The option shows up as an icon that appears on entries that would create
a new branch. You can also branch from the default by secondary
confirming, which the icon has a tooltip for as well.
We based the default branch on the results from this command: `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/upstream/HEAD` and fallback to `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`
Release Notes:
- Add option to create a branch from a default branch in git branch
picker

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a new `documentation` method to actions, that is extracted from doc
comments when using the `actions!` or derive macros.
Additionally, this PR adds doc comments to as many action definitions in
Zed as possible.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Instead of a menagerie of macros for implementing `Action`, now there
are just two:
* `actions!(editor, [MoveLeft, MoveRight])`
* `#[derive(..., Action)]` with `#[action(namespace = editor)]`
In both contexts, `///` doc comments can be provided and will be used in
`JsonSchema`.
In both contexts, parameters can provided in `#[action(...)]`:
- `namespace = some_namespace` sets the namespace. In Zed this is
required.
- `name = "ActionName"` overrides the action's name. This must not
contain "::".
- `no_json` causes the `build` method to always error and
`action_json_schema` to return `None`
and allows actions not implement `serde::Serialize` and
`schemars::JsonSchema`.
- `no_register` skips registering the action. This is useful for
implementing the `Action` trait
while not supporting invocation by name or JSON deserialization.
- `deprecated_aliases = ["editor::SomeAction"]` specifies deprecated old
names for the action.
These action names should *not* correspond to any actions that are
registered. These old names
can then still be used to refer to invoke this action. In Zed, the
keymap JSON schema will
accept these old names and provide warnings.
- `deprecated = "Message about why this action is deprecation"`
specifies a deprecation message.
In Zed, the keymap JSON schema will cause this to be displayed as a
warning. This is a new feature.
Also makes the following changes since this seems like a good time to
make breaking changes:
* In `zed.rs` tests adds a test with an explicit list of namespaces. The
rationale for this is that there is otherwise no checking of `namespace
= ...` attributes.
* `Action::debug_name` renamed to `name_for_type`, since its only
difference with `name` was that it
* `Action::name` now returns `&'static str` instead of `&str` to match
the return of `name_for_type`. This makes the action trait more limited,
but the code was already assuming that `name_for_type` is the same as
`name`, and it requires `&'static`. So really this just makes the trait
harder to misuse.
* Various action reflection methods now use `&'static str` instead of
`SharedString`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
mostly, I using `git checkout -b branch_name upstream/main` to create
new branch which reference remote upstream not my fork.
When using `Push` will always failed with not permission. So we need
ability to select which remote to push.
Current branch is based on my previous pr #26897
Release Notes:
- Add `PushTo` to select which remote to push.
