Partially addresses #11473 MVP of dev containers with the following capabilities: - If in a project with `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`, a pop-up notification will ask if you want to open the project in a dev container. This can be dismissed: <img width="1478" height="1191" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-08 at 3 15 23 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec2e20d6-28ec-4495-8f23-4c1d48a9ce78" /> - Similarly, if a `devcontainer.json` file is in the project, you can open a devcontainer (or go the devcontainer.json file for further editing) via the `open remote` modal: https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/61f2fdaa-2808-4efc-994c-7b444a92c0b1 *Limitations* This is a first release, and comes with some limitations: - Zed extensions are not managed in `devcontainer.json` yet. They will need to be installed either on host or in the container. Host + Container sync their extensions, so there is not currently a concept of what is installed in the container vs what is installed on host: they come from the same list of manifests - This implementation uses the [devcontainer CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) for its control plane. Hence, it does not yet support the `forwardPorts` directive. A single port can be opened with `appPort`. See reference in docs [here](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/tree/main/example-usage#how-the-tool-examples-work) - Editing devcontainer.json does not automatically cause the dev container to be rebuilt. So if you add features, change images, etc, you will need to `docker kill` the existing dev container before proceeding. - Currently takes a hard dependency on `docker` being available in the user's `PATH`. Release Notes: - Added ability to Open a project in a DevContainer, provided a `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` is present --------- Co-authored-by: Danilo Leal <daniloleal09@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Danilo Leal <67129314+danilo-leal@users.noreply.github.com>
Zed Icons
Guidelines
Icons are a big part of Zed, and they're how we convey hundreds of actions without relying on labeled buttons. When introducing a new icon, it's important to ensure consistency with the existing set, which follows these guidelines:
- The SVG view box should be 16x16.
- For outlined icons, use a 1.2px stroke width.
- Not all icons are mathematically aligned; there's quite a bit of optical adjustment. However, try to keep the icon within an internal 12x12 bounding box as much as possible while ensuring proper visibility.
- Use the
filledandoutlinedterminology when introducing icons that will have these two variants. - Icons that are deeply contextual may have the feature context as their name prefix. For example,
ToolWeb,ReplPlay,DebugStepInto, etc. - Avoid complex layer structures in the icon SVG, like clipping masks and similar elements. When the shape becomes too complex, we recommend running the SVG through SVGOMG to clean it up.
Sourcing
Most icons are created by sourcing them from Lucide. Then, they're modified, adjusted, cleaned up, and simplified depending on their use and overall fit with Zed.
Sometimes, we may use other sources like Phosphor, but we also design many icons completely from scratch.
Contributing
To introduce a new icon, add the .svg file to the assets/icon directory and then add its corresponding item to the icons.rs file within the crates directory.
- SVG files in the assets folder follow a snake_case name format.
- Icons in the
icons.rsfile follow the PascalCase name format.
Make sure to tag a member of Zed's design team so we can review and adjust any newly introduced icon.
