Configuration

This extension will automatically recognize the majority of filenames/extensions out of the box, but some require some additional configuration via [file_types] in Zed Settings:

{
  "file_types": {
    "Git Attributes": ["**/{git,.git,.git/info}/attributes"],
    "Git Config": ["*.gitconfig", "**/{git,.git,.git/modules,.git/modules/*}/config"],
    "Git Ignore": ["**/{git,.git}/ignore", "**/.git/info/exclude"]
  },
}

Use zed commit editor

{
  "terminal": {
    "env": {
      "GIT_EDITOR": "zed --wait"
    }
  }
}

And Then

git add .
git commit
git push
