[!NOTE] OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the new, open-source Warp repository, and the new agentic management workflows are powered by GPT models.

About

Warp is an agentic development environment, born out of the terminal. Use Warp's built-in coding agent, or bring your own CLI agent (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others).

Installation

You can download Warp and read our docs for platform-specific instructions.

Automate development with Warp Factories

This repository is driven by Warp Factories: open, flexible infrastructure for teams to build cloud software factories of their own.

Warp Factories are defined in code and easy to deploy on any model or harness, with evals, benchmarks, and self-improvement built in. Request early access.

Licensing

Warp's UI framework (the warpui_core and warpui crates) are licensed under the MIT license.

The rest of the code in this repository is licensed under the AGPL v3.

Open Source & Contributing

Warp's client codebase is open source and lives in this repository. We welcome community contributions and have designed a lightweight workflow to help new contributors get started. For the full contribution flow, read our CONTRIBUTING.md guide.

[!TIP] Chat with contributors and the Warp team in the #oss-contributors Slack channel — a good place for ad-hoc questions, design discussion, and pairing with maintainers. New here? Join the Warp Slack community first, then jump into #oss-contributors.

Issue to PR

Before filing, search existing issues for your bug or feature request. If nothing exists, file an issue using our templates. Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately as described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Once filed, a Warp maintainer reviews the issue and may apply a readiness label: ready-to-spec signals the design is open for contributors to spec out, and ready-to-implement signals the design is settled and code PRs are welcome. Anyone can pick up a labeled issue — mention @oss-maintainers on an issue if you'd like it considered for a readiness label.

Building the Repo Locally

To build and run Warp from source:

./script/bootstrap   # platform-specific setup
./script/run         # build and run Warp
./script/presubmit   # fmt, clippy, and tests

See AGENTS.md for the full engineering guide, including coding style, testing, and platform-specific notes.

Support and Questions

  1. See our docs for a comprehensive guide to Warp's features.
  2. Join our Slack Community to connect with other users and get help from the Warp team — contributors hang out in #oss-contributors.
  3. Try our Preview build to test the latest experimental features.
  4. Mention @oss-maintainers on any issue to escalate to the team — for example, if you encounter problems with the automated agents.

Code of Conduct

We ask everyone to be respectful and empathetic. Warp follows the Code of Conduct. To report violations, email warp-coc at warp.dev.

Warp
What is this?Warp is an agentic development environment built from the terminal, combining a terminal emulator with a built-in coding agent and support for bringing your own CLI agent.
Is this just a terminal, or something more?It's a full terminal application with agentic workflows layered on top, not a plain shell replacement; it has its own UI framework and supports running multiple coding agents inside it.
How do I install Warp?You download the Warp app and follow the platform-specific instructions in the docs; to build from source, see the engineering guide in AGENTS.md.
Which coding agents can I use with it?Warp supports its own built-in coding agent as well as external CLI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
Is the whole app open source under one license?No — the UI framework crates (warpuicore and warpui) are MIT licensed, while the rest of the repository is AGPL v3.
Which platforms does Warp run on?Warp targets Linux and macOS, matching the repo's listed topics and build setup.
What is build.warp.dev for?It's a contributions dashboard where you can watch Warp Factory agents triage issues, write specs, implement changes, and review PRs, plus track your own issues via GitHub sign-in.
What are Warp Factories?They are open infrastructure for teams to build their own cloud software factories, defined in code, deployable on any model or harness, with evals, benchmarks, and self-improvement built in.
What open source projects does Warp build on?It credits dependencies like Tokio, NuShell, Fig Completion Specs, Alacritty, the Hyper HTTP library, FontKit, Core-foundation, and Smol.
What are similar projects?Kaku, WindTerm, golutra, ralph, openpencil, muxin, Ghostex, opencode
