Looking forward to trying this tomorrow. Anyone has tried it on their macs?

It requires a login to use it…
You gotta love the copy on the Warp site. As for why they’re now launching it on Linux:
Despite this, Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows
…relatively few? Really?
That is a rather weird statement
But I read it on a website on the internets, it must be true. They wouldn’t lie. You can trust CLI experts, its not like they are after your data.
Linux has relatively few terminal options compared to Mac and Windows
I don’t think so Tim
That and referring to Android phones as “Androids”.
Chuckle
Whatsa windows terminal? /s
Then that’s definitely a hard nope from me.
Yeah. I don’t think so
<homer backing into hedge gif>
That actually sucks a lot. But I will try it. Don’t want to be old man shouting at the cloud… But that’s a big negative, I agree.
I tried it today. It’s cool and I can see why people like it. I liked some parts of it. The ability to filter output from previous shell commands is nice, don’t have to have vim or use rg to filter things on remote machines.
Path completion over ssh was a bit slow-ish but worked.
Command completion was nice too, works like fzf over your shell history (which I already have in other shells).
I will try it some more but I haven’t fallen in love with it yet. It feels a bit slower than kitty to me.
I’m gonna be that guy:
Why am I supposed to be excited for this?
I dug around their site to try and answer your question for myself. Nothing I saw would make me want to switch terminals (I’m content with whatever built-in comes with the OS, usually), but it has some interesting flashy bits:
- “Warp AI” is ChatGPT baked into the app. Might be handy for certain situations, but it’s online only soooooo why wouldn’t I just use ddg?
- “Warp Drive” is a way to make / organize / share user scripts. Seems to be focused on team-based sharing.
- the app separates commands into blocks, which might make scripting faster/easier for some people.
If I felt lost in the terminal, a lot of these features would be attractive to me.
Well, you know, it’s something different. ;).
Give me a term that I can bash on, and I’m good. (Or whatever a user wants to use other than bash).
I do like Cool Retro Term though. Sometimes it’s fun to look at something from the 70’s or 80’s.
Cheers!
It’s not actually open source (yet), and some AI bullshit. Hard nope from me.
I really don’t get it though. Most of the time I run the same few command. cd and ls a bunch, SSH to some servers, docker-compose up, invoke a build script, pacman -Syyu, and the occasional grep. Maybe I’ll curl if I’m feeling feisty.
For the times I do need to do something more complicated, I guess chatgpt might help, but I don’t need it fully integrated into an always online terminal that I have to log into and pay for.
STOP. FUCKING. NAMING. EVERYTHING. WARP.
Yeah. I just checked to see if it was in the AUR yet… I still don’t have an answer.
Oof. An always online terminal with an AI that does who knows what with the things you type? I don’t think so.
Also, Open Sourcing the client but not the server seems like marketing at best.
A quick Wikipedia also says that they basically run on investor money. Including Sam Altman and Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn who had three massive data breaches in as many years.
That’s a hard pass for me.
It does look beautiful though
i have. i like it.
Nice!
I don’t think this is for me. My workflow is buildt around existing tools for solving the issues Warp tries to solve. Like, you know, the shells historyfile.
That said, I hope whoever likes it, really likes it, and that it revolutionize their work.
