## What it is
A repository providing unofficial nightly and OpenGL builds of the Zed code editor for Windows, distributed via Scoop manifests and GitHub Actions. It exists to serve users who need bleeding-edge commits or OpenGL rendering where official Vulkan/DX11 builds don't work.

## Use cases
- install zed editor on windows
- download nightly builds of zed for windows
- get an opengl build of zed when dx11 doesn't work
- try out zed on windows before official support
- install zed via scoop on windows
- test bleeding edge zed commits on windows

## When to choose
- you need nightly or OpenGL builds of Zed on Windows that upstream doesn't ship
- you use Scoop as your Windows package manager
- your GPU/drivers lack Vulkan or DX11 support

## When to avoid
- you just want a stable Zed install - use the official zed.dev download or Scoop extras/zed
- you need support for Zed bugs - this repo is not a support channel
- you're not on Windows

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- function: developer-tools, editor, build-tool
- domain: developer-tools, text-editors, windows
