Reasons for making this change
The Zed editor (56k+ GitHub stars) creates a
.zed/directory in project roots for project-specific settings. This mirrors VS Code's.vscode/directory - some files are shared team config, others are user-specific.The Global/ directory has templates for 20+ editors (VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text, etc.) but is missing Zed. This template follows the same ignore-all, whitelist-shared pattern used by the existing VS Code template.
Whitelisted files:
.zed/settings.json- project settings (formatter, language server config, tab size).zed/tasks.json- project task definitions.zed/debug.json- project debug configurationsThese are team-shareable project config. Everything else in
.zed/is ignored by default to catch any future user-specific state files.Links to documentation supporting these rule changes
.zed/project settings directory and the three config files.zed/tasks.json.zed/debug.jsonIf this is a new template
