Replacing Pull Requests with Delta
Blog post from Zed
Delta has launched in public beta as a collaborative coding environment designed around agent-assisted software development, allowing teammates to share conversations, worktrees, and agent context without relying on commits, pushes, or pull requests for collaboration. Built by the Zed team, which now develops Delta itself without pull requests, the platform replaces conventional code review with isolated review subthreads where collaborators can inspect changes, ask agents about prior decisions, request revisions, or make fixes that can be incorporated before landing code. Delta is powered by DeltaDB, an extension of Git that preserves incremental edits and associated human and agent messages between commits while remaining compatible with standard Git repositories and GitHub-based contribution workflows. The company argues that threads, rather than branches and diffs, should become the central unit of development, enabling continuous engineering in which planning, implementation, review, and merging occur together. Delta is available for macOS, Linux, Windows, the web, and mobile browsers, is free during beta with future paid plans planned, and has reportedly been used by its 33-person team to land 570 changes after disabling pull requests.
