Warp: Your terminal, reimagined
www.warp.dev
Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster. Now available on MacOS.

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They say the dont collect data and you can check it aswell as opt out. But the idea of a terminal being read by an Ai makes me hesitant aswell as a account needed to use warp. What do you guys think?

    For me to even consider using AI in my terminal, it’d have to meet a couple of requirements:

    • needs to be open source
    • needs to be run without network access
    • needs to be an extensible utility to any terminal program.

    (And that’s off the top of my head.)

    If I have to use a cloud service or create an account to use the terminal, it’s a no for me dawg.

    Did warp ever follow through with allowing folks to use it without signing into your GitHub account?

    Warp lost me at the account requirement. You’re telling me I need to sign in to a terminal? Seriously? Like with an internet connection? Nope. What if I’m opening my terminal to configure my network? Warp seems to be fixing a problem that doesn’t exist. I don’t think anyone has looked at a terminal emulator and gone “Yeah, this could use AI and a cloud account”.
