This inspired me to have a try at running Edit on macOS via Docker - here's what I got working (should work for anyone else with Docker installed on Apple silicon too, I pushed the image to the GitHub Container Registry):

  docker run --platform linux/arm64 \
    -it --rm \
    -v $(pwd):/workspace \
    ghcr.io/simonw/alpine-edit

Run that in a directory to open Edit against the files in that directory.

You can also compile directly from source on macOS - instructions here, I've not tried this yet: https://github.com/microsoft/edit/blob/main/README.md#build-...
