Warp Blog

That was my first reaction, but apparently warp.dev and warp.co are different products. Their landing pages are comically similar though, I recommend opening both in different tabs and playing spot-the-difference as you switch between them: https://www.warp.co/ https://www.warp.dev/

The Warp terminal[1] is excellent for this type of thing. In agent mode, you just describe what you want to have happen and it generates the proper command(s) (that you can approve before running). I use it a lot to convert videos and turn a folder of tiff files into pngs at 1/2 size, etc. It's great at generating FFMEG commands and chaining the right tools together. [1] https://www.warp.dev

Great suggestions here. I'm using Warp Terminal regularly (https://www.warp.dev/) which works for me very well but Alacritty and iTerm2 (my last go to) are only being mentioned. Should I be worried!

> 2. install the latest LTS Rust Rust doesn't have LTS versions. Regardless, the project should mention a specific version for Rust and Node, just to be safe. Besides that, PurpleRamen is right. None of this seems like a terminal's job. Some of the items you mention (autocomplete and current branch) are things you can do today with bash/zsh/fish and some plug-ins. I'm not sure what you mean by "prepared scripts", and why they can't be standard scripts or functions. There's also https://www.warp.dev/ in this space. I don't use it - it doesn't support tmux yet - but it might be worth exploring.

I think a compiler that phones home is a great addition to my AI-powered terminal (https://www.warp.dev) and toaster with a camera that I never changed the default password on. /s

I want to second this! Wez term has great support for fonts, including ligatures, and it's configured/scripted via Lua; pretty neat. It's got a great ssh mode, too (with `wezterm ssh...`). It's got many great features. On Mac I currently use https://www.warp.dev/ and I love the editor prompt feature! The search/ai is helpful sometimes (I use fish, so a bit less so, but fish makes up for it), and the cheat-sheet/template feature (forgot the name now) is cool, too!

> I can all but guarantee that you're using, daily, some tool that is free. Why aren't you paying $5 a day for it? Because nobody has been crafty enough to capitalize on that market, or is unable to provide a sufficiently convincing alternative that would attract people to it. For example, I can get by with something like mRemoteNG for tabbed SSH sessions: https://mremoteng.org/ It's kind of quirky but works. Someone else might appreciate something like the excellent MobaXTerm more, which adds multi-execution capabilities, a GUI for port forwarding and much more: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ Sometimes free tools also become paid, see Docker Desktop (for business) or something like Lens: both are proof that, it feeling like a rug pull aside, many people will pay for what even was formerly a free tool. On the opposite side of the spectrum, you have developers that can't capitalize on their software and the projects aren't sustainable: https://staltz.com/software-below-the-poverty-line.html On a more positive note, this is why Open collective, GitHub Sponsors and other crowd funding solutions are nice, since now you can throw money towards whatever projects you support and think deserve to exist. > You've gotten more value out of bash, grep and related tools than IntelliJ is ever worth to you, and yet if I came up to you and said "here, use my replacement grep, bash, etc for only $5/day" you'd laugh. Someone might laugh, but there's a project out there that attempts…

It's only ever the people using IDEA or Visual Studio or similar who develop superiority complexes over their choice of rentals. I mean, $5/day to save my employer (not me) 5m/day is a good deal for my employer. I, however, don't get the value of that 5m[1]. [1] Which is why I pay for the IDEA IDE in my personal capacity even though I won't use it at work. Because if they save 5m/day, I get that time saved. Luckily my current (and last three or four) employers had no hesitation in purchasing software we wanted, so I never had to use it at work.

Hi HN, I’m Aloke, one of the co-creators of commands.dev (https://www.commands.dev/) and an engineer at Warp (https://www.warp.dev/). Commands.dev is a curated, open-source collection of popular terminal commands that lets you quickly search for hard-to-remember terminal commands by title, tag, and description. Each of these pages are also indexed by Google to provide a consistent, well-formatted alternative to the variety of sources these commands turn up now, like StackOverflow. As an engineer who uses the terminal frequently, I often have trouble remembering the exact command I want to execute if it’s not easily searchable within my terminal. Some commands that I run infrequently don’t match up with the underlying task they perform, which makes it even harder to find. For example, to undo my last git commit, I have to search for “git reset”, which I never remember because I’m always thinking “undo”ing my last commit instead of “reset”ing. We built commands.dev so that there would be a centralized place to quickly find and search commands based on their name, description, or category. If you are a Warp user, these commands are also integrated directly into Warp as a feature we call Workflows (https://docs.warp.dev/features/workflows) so that you can quickly search and execute them directly from the terminal. These commands are open-source (https://github.com/warpdotdev/workflows) and we would love contributions to make commands.dev even more useful. So far, we’ve…

Originally, Warp was doing just that. Reimagining the terminal including making AI a part of it. I don't think they really found much purchase there because they ended up needing to make a platform out of it: https://www.warp.dev/

Warp founder here. Great question. I outline the thought process in detail in our blog (https://www.warp.dev/blog/warp-is-now-open-source) But the tl;dr is that I actually think we can build a better product, more quickly if we build it with our community + agents. I also think it's a unique product that I hope developers get a bunch of value from being able to customize and help improve. Our business is now mostly around agents and orchestration through Oz (https://oz.dev), so opening up the client and terminal felt natural. The big thing for the "why now" though was the agent management piece. Wrt the github stars, we had an issues-only repo prior and already had a significant number of stars before OSS today.

That means that any project without the letters "AI" in the name is dead in the eyes of investors. Even plain terminals are now "agentic orchestrators": https://www.warp.dev

I totally agree with the closing questions and statements here. Yes, there is an apparent fluctuation in pricing for said tokens/credits/etc.. and they are just finding the sweet spot. I primarily use the https://www.warp.dev/ terminal and they have just released a new plan which outwardly states lower cost per request. They mentioned 'At full usage, the plans didn’t scale sustainably'. This is encouraging to know. Right now, I'm looking around and trying out. Nice read, thanks.

> I sense many feel their business model is better suited to subscriptions Self-plug, but sometimes the developer just straight up needs income for a basic living. My terminal emulator [0] is in Early Access, meaning fans throw me $5/mo. Each month they get a new version and the binary is 100% offline (theirs to own.) I sincerely want to respect the customer's wallet/privacy, yet I don't know what else to do while staying indie: my direct competitors either have VC funding [1] or the author's a wealthy retired CEO [2]. However, once I reach a 1.0 stable release I'll switch to a one-off payment system. I'm also not against a Business Source License when the time comes.

> Sure you can't point it to a Jira ticket and get a PR You absolutely can. This is exactly what SWE-Bench[0] measures, and I've been amazed at how quickly AIs have been climbing those ladders. I personally have been using Warp [1] a lot recently and in quite a lot of low-medium difficulty cases it can one-shot a decent PR. For most of my work I still find that I need to pair with it to get sufficiently good results (and that's why I still prefer it to something cloud-based like Codex [2], but otherwise it's quite good too), and I expect the situation to flip over the coming couple of years.

It would be insanity for every cli tool to wrap its own llama.cpp There are plenty of terminal apps with this functionality, e.g. https://www.warp.dev/

If you mean an autocomplete for the terminal, there is https://www.warp.dev/.

If you used any "new" terminal - like Warp [1] (which requires you to login to use wtf) or Wave Terminal[2] (open source and bring your own AI is supported) - you'll be very familiar with this style of AI-driven completion. I do use it sometimes, but I am very very careful in reviewing what the command does before blindly copy pasting it into the cli [1] https://www.warp.dev [2] https://www.waveterm.dev/

I think you're on to something, maybe let's put AI in it too? Oh, someone beat us to the punch... https://www.warp.dev/

I’ve never even seen a prototype of what a GUI for Bash would look like. However, there is Warp, which might be of interest. “Ask Warp AI to suggest the right command or chat to get answers about any programming question. Your requests stay private and secure, never used to train public models.” I haven’t tried it myself, but I have aquaintances that swear by it. https://www.warp.dev/

Warp? https://www.warp.dev/ Might not be 1:1 what you ask for, but it can do scrollbacks for sure and has very advanced command history features.

Recently came across https://www.warp.dev/ on HN, which includes a AI part for your terminal. That's a paid feature running nonlocal, but it's a start I suppose.

Raycast > Alfred Warp > iTerm https://www.raycast.com https://www.warp.dev

Their current commercial offering is Charm Cloud (https://charm.sh/cloud/), which seems to offer "next-generation networking, data storage, identity, encryption and multi-machine support". That said, I'm worried it'll go in the direction of Warp (https://www.warp.dev/), where they require a sign-up before using it (etc).

There's also https://www.warp.dev I've been using it for the past few weeks and it's really sleek. I actually don't use the AI features very often because I'm fluent in the terminal, but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. Some people get weirded out by the fact that it's VC funded and they collect telemetry, but I think you can turn that off.

This makes me wonder about newer terminal emulators on maccOS like Warp[1], and if they're for example taking all input locally, and then sending it over the remote host in a single blob or not? I imagine doing so would possibly break any sort of raw-mode input being done on remote host but I'd also imagine that is a detectable situation in which you could switch into a raw keystroke feed as well.

Is Zellij in the same realm / in competition with Warp terminal? https://www.warp.dev/

AFAIK wezterm[1] and warp[2] are built on top of the WebGPU [1] https://wezfurlong.org/wezterm/ [2] https://www.warp.dev

Despite the negativity in the comments (and in the comments of the previous discussion), the architecture of Tabby seems like it would lend itself to implementing "modern" features like those in the "pricing TBD" Warp[0] terminal emulator for macOS. [0] https://www.warp.dev
