# Replacing Pull Requests with Delta — Zed's Blog

**[Zed](https://daily.dev/sources/zed)** · 5 min read · 6 upvotes · 1 comments

## Summary

Zed launched the public beta of Delta, a multiplayer environment for coding with AI agents that replaces pull requests as the primary collaboration and review workflow. Instead of pushing branches for review, teammates join live threads with agents, see the same worktrees, and can spin up isolated review subthreads with full context of the original agent's decisions. Delta is built on DeltaDB, which layers incremental delta-based versioning on top of Git commits, so teams can adopt it without abandoning existing Git-based workflows. Zed's own repository has already disabled pull requests internally, with 33 people landing 570 changes to main through Delta. The beta is free, available on macOS, Linux, Windows, and web, with paid plans coming later. Zed frames this as the first step in a broader effort to replace GitHub.com, starting with Git storage and eventually CI-style verification inside threads.

## Questions this post answers

### What is Delta by Zed and how does it replace GitHub pull requests?

Delta is a multiplayer coding environment from Zed, now in public beta, that replaces pull requests with live collaborative threads involving AI agents. Instead of pushing branches for review, teammates join a thread, see the same worktrees, and can create isolated review subthreads with access to the original agent's context. Zed disabled pull requests on its own repository, with 33 people landing 570 changes to main using Delta alone.

_Developers weighing agent-based review workflows against pull requests can track how tools like this evolve on daily.dev._

### What is DeltaDB and how does it relate to Git?

DeltaDB is the storage layer Delta is built on, extending Git's content-based versioning with incremental deltas recorded between commits. It preserves edits and messages from humans and agents throughout a thread, while a Git commit remains the checkpoint developers push, pull, and build from, keeping compatibility with existing Git-based repositories and workflows.

_Anyone evaluating new Git-compatible storage layers can follow tooling shifts like this on daily.dev._

### Is Delta by Zed free to use during its public beta?

Yes, Delta is free during the public beta, available on macOS, Linux, and Windows, plus a web version and mobile browser access for following threads. Paid plans for individuals and teams are planned for later, but a free version will always remain available.

_Teams deciding whether to adopt new agent-collaboration tools can watch pricing changes unfold on daily.dev._
