Git.Zone IDE

Git.Zone IDE is a remote-first desktop IDE based on Eclipse Theia, Electron, and SSH.

The local Electron shell manages SSH sessions and tunnels. The remote host runs the Theia backend inside the selected workspace.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run test

The full Theia product build is intentionally separate because it downloads and bundles the IDE runtime:

pnpm run build:theia
pnpm run start:remote

Architecture

• applications/electron-shell: local Electron launcher and SSH session shell.
• applications/remote-theia: remote Theia application served through an SSH tunnel.
• packages/ssh: OpenSSH config parsing, command execution, probes, and tunnel lifecycle.
• packages/server-installer: remote server manifest, install paths, bootstrap script generation, and command planning.
• packages/protocol: shared session and server protocol types.
• theia-extensions/gitzone-*: Theia product and remote integration extensions.
