5## What's here
6
7- **[Tasks](./tasks.md)**: Define and run shell commands with access to editor context like the current file, selection, or symbol. Use tasks to build, lint, run scripts, or execute any repeatable workflow.
8
9- **[Debugger](./debugger.md)**: Set breakpoints, step through code, and inspect variables using Zed's built-in debugger. Works with C, C++, Go, JavaScript, Python, Rust, TypeScript, and more through the Debug Adapter Protocol.
10
11- **[REPL](./repl.md)**: Run code interactively using Jupyter kernels. Execute selections or cells and see results inline—useful for Python, TypeScript (Deno), R, Julia, and other supported languages.
