Allow filling co-authors in the git panel's commit input (#23329)
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/78db908e-cfe5-4803-b0dc-4f33bc457840


* starts to extract usernames out of `users/` GitHub API responses, and
pass those along with e-mails in the collab sessions as part of the
`User` data

* adjusts various prefill and seed test methods so that the new data can
be retrieved from GitHub properly

* if there's an active call, where guests have write permissions and
e-mails, allow to trigger `FillCoAuthors` action in the context of the
git panel, that will fill in `co-authored-by:` lines, using e-mail and
names (or GitHub handle names if name is absent)

* the action tries to not duplicate such entries, if any are present
already, and adds those below the rest of the commit input's text

Concerns:

* users with write permissions and no e-mails will be silently omitted
— adding odd entries that try to indicate this or raising pop-ups is
very intrusive (maybe, we can add `#`-prefixed comments?), logging seems
pointless

* it's not clear whether the data prefill will run properly on the
existing users — seems tolerable now, as it seems that we get e-mails
properly already, so we'll see GitHub handles instead of names in the
worst case. This can be prefilled better later.

* e-mails and names for a particular project may be not what the user
wants.
E.g. my `.gitconfig` has
```
[user]
    email = mail4score@gmail.com

# .....snip

[includeif "gitdir:**/work/zed/**/.git"]
    path = ~/.gitconfig.work
```

and that one has

```
[user]
    email = kirill@zed.dev
```

while my GitHub profile is configured so, that `mail4score@gmail.com` is
the public, commit e-mail.

So, when I'm a participant in a Zed session, wrong e-mail will be
picked.
The problem is, it's impossible for a host to get remote's collaborator
git metadata for a particular project, as that might not even exist on
disk for the client.

Seems that we might want to add some "project git URL <-> user name and
email" mapping in the settings(?).
The design of this is not very clear, so the PR concentrates on the
basics for now.

When https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/23308 lands, most of the
issues can be solved by collaborators manually, before committing.

Zed Server

This crate is what we run at https://collab.zed.dev.

It contains our back-end logic for collaboration, to which we connect from the Zed client via a websocket after authenticating via https://zed.dev, which is a separate repo running on Vercel.

Local Development

Database setup

Before you can run the collab server locally, you'll need to set up a zed Postgres database. Follow the steps sequentially:

  1. Ensure you have postgres installed. If not, install with brew install postgresql@15.
  2. Follow the steps on Brew's formula and verify your $PATH contains /opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin.
  3. If you hadn't done it before, create the postgres user with createuser -s postgres.
  4. You are now ready to run the bootstrap script:
script/bootstrap

This script will set up the zed Postgres database, and populate it with some users. It requires internet access, because it fetches some users from the GitHub API.

The script will create several admin users, who you'll sign in as by default when developing locally. The GitHub logins for the default users are specified in the seed.default.json file.

To use a different set of admin users, create crates/collab/seed.json.

{
  "admins": ["yourgithubhere"],
  "channels": ["zed"]
}

Testing collaborative features locally

In one terminal, run Zed's collaboration server and the livekit dev server:

foreman start

In a second terminal, run two or more instances of Zed.

script/zed-local -2

This script starts one to four instances of Zed, depending on the -2, -3 or -4 flags. Each instance will be connected to the local collab server, signed in as a different user from seed.json or seed.default.json.

Deployment

We run two instances of collab:

Both of these run on the Kubernetes cluster hosted in Digital Ocean.

Deployment is triggered by pushing to the collab-staging (or collab-production) tag in Github. The best way to do this is:

  • ./script/deploy-collab staging
  • ./script/deploy-collab production

You can tell what is currently deployed with ./script/what-is-deployed.

Database Migrations

To create a new migration:

./script/create-migration <name>

Migrations are run automatically on service start, so run foreman start again. The service will crash if the migrations fail.

When you create a new migration, you also need to update the SQLite schema that is used for testing.
