Option to Disable Credential Storage / Keyring Access

[jangorecki]

Hi Zed team,
Thank you for building such a fast and modern code editor—really enjoying using it so far!
I’d like to request a feature that allows users to completely disable the use of any credential storage, including GitHub integration, Git credential helpers, or system keyring access.

On Linux systems, Zed prompts to unlock the system keyring when it tries to access or store credentials.

In some use cases—such as using Zed in minimal or privacy-focused environments—this is undesirable or breaks the workflow (e.g., when auto-login prevents the keyring from unlocking).

Feature request:
An option in Zed’s settings (e.g., settings.json) to fully disable:

• GitHub authentication
• Git credential storage
• Any attempt to access system keyrings

This would allow users to use Zed purely as a local code editor, without any external credential management, preventing system prompts entirely.

Thanks for considering this!
