This PR explores the addition of a new feature and UI to improve visibility into partially staged commits. Currently, the Git panel shows tracked and untracked changes, but it does not clearly distinguish between staged and unstaged changes. As a result, it’s difficult to quickly see which changes are not staged in the current UI. Both staged and unstaged changes are combined into the `Uncommitted Changes` multibuffer. This developer experience differs from other editors, most notably VS Code; which presents separate Staged Changes and Changes lists. ### Staged and unstaged diffs in multibuffers This PR introduces an alternative UI for unstaged changes that aligns with the overall Zed experience. Instead of showing changes on a per-file basis, staged and unstaged diffs are each displayed in their own multibuffers, similar to how `Uncommitted Changes` currently works. For example the following screenshot shows the current `Uncommitted Changes` on the left, the `Staged Changes` in the middle and the `Unstaged Changes` buffer on the right for comparison <img width="1408" height="859" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/aa709f7a-041d-4cb1-95d6-84c0f5fff688" /> ### Indicators/interactions The new multibuffers can be opened in two ways: 1. Via a new `U` chip, which appears when a file has unstaged changes 2. Via new menu options (See screenshots below for both interaction paths.) <table> <tr> <td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;"> <p>via the chip</p> <img height="400" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3ef69f02-b787-499c-959a-25f50b3728e8" alt="Via the chip" /> </td> <td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: top;"> <p>via the menu</p> <img height="400" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f5be8b6d-ccdc-4420-bd29-75570b558016" alt="Via the menu" /> </td> </tr> </table> ### Design goals - minimally intrusive UI changes (small new badge and menu items) - adhere by Zed'ism (use multibuffer where possible) - avoid disabling any current interactions (Uncommitted Changes ui is unchanged) - avoid introducing an app level view mode (no new settings needed) ### Experience goals - make it easy to see what changes are not staged - make it easy to see that a file has unstaged changes (avoid developers accidently leaving out changes in a commit; a personal issue that I have when using Zed) - elegantly handle large file's unstaged changes (follows the same collapse and expanding seen in `Uncommitted Changes`) ### How to try - Clone the repo and run `cargo run` - Make a change to a file and stage it - Make another change to the file (the `U` indicator will appear) - Click the `U` to see the unstaged view ### Open questions/rough edges - [ ] determine if this user experience is useful for others - [ ] ensure all interactions work as expected (response to all update cases) In general I'm really interested in hearing the community's feedback about this interface, more than happy to make any changes or explore a different solution! ### Related issue: - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/36646 - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/26560 Release Notes: - Support partially staged commit multibuffers via a staged and unstaged changes view. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Cole Miller <cole@zed.dev> |
