Zed

Zed is an open-source multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

Use Zed to connect to Coder via SSH

Use the Coder CLI to log in and configure SSH, then connect to your workspace with Zed:

  1. Install Zed

  2. Install Coder CLI:

    Linux/macOS

    Our install script is the fastest way to install Coder on Linux/macOS:

    curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
    

    Refer to GitHub releases for alternate installation methods (e.g. standalone binaries, system packages).

    Windows

    Important: If you plan to use the built-in PostgreSQL database, you will need to ensure that the Visual C++ Runtime is installed.

    Use GitHub releases to download the Windows installer (.msi) or standalone binary (.exe).

    Windows setup wizard

    Alternatively, you can use the winget package manager to install Coder:

    winget install Coder.Coder
    

    Consult the Coder CLI documentation for more options.

  3. Log in to your Coder deployment and authenticate when prompted:

    coder login coder.example.com
    
  4. Configure Coder SSH:

    coder config-ssh
    
  5. Connect to the workspace via SSH:

    zed ssh://coder.workspace-name
    

    Or use Zed's Remote Development to connect to the workspace:

    Zed open remote project
