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.

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.

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 the CONTRIBUTING guide.

Once filed, a Warp maintainer reviews the issue and may apply a readiness label:

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 WARP.md for the full engineering guide, including coding style, testing, and platform‑specific notes.
