Kaivalya Editor is written in Rust, on gpui and gpui-component. This
section is for working on it, in four parts:
- Getting started — build it and run its checks, the
first time.
- How-to guides — a setting, a command, a string, a
benchmark, a window test, a release: each task, start to finish. And
Building on Windows, untested, with what is known
not to work there.
- Technical reference — every crate, the build, the files the
editor keeps, settings, commands, translations, tests and performance.
- Understanding the architecture — why
it is split the way it is.

Recipes for the changes this codebase asks for most: a setting, a command, a string, a benchmark, a window test, a screenshot, a dependency, an address, a release.
