Warp
Warp replaces Terminal.app and iTerm2. Commands are blocks, autocomplete is smart, history is shareable. It's where Claude Code runs on my machine.
How I use it
- ›Daily dev with Claude Code
- ›Share a complex command with a teammate
- ›Find a command run 3 weeks ago
Installation
Prérequis.macOS 11+. Linux version in beta, Windows not yet. Free for core features, Pro at $15/month for Warp AI.
$ brew install --cask warpOptional: set Warp as default terminal in System Settings → Default Apps → Terminal (macOS Sonoma+).
Configs and workflows worth knowing
Warp Drive to share commands with your team
Store a command (e.g. "deploy staging") in Warp Drive. It's accessible to your whole team via a menu. No more 'hey, what was the command for...' on Slack. Each command can have parameters (env, user, etc.) filled via UI.
Workflows — reusable multi-step scripts
A workflow is a sequence of commands with placeholders. Launch it via Cmd+P, fill parameters, it runs. Ideal for repetitive tasks (new project setup, dev service startup, etc.).
# ~/.warp/workflows/new-next-app.yaml
name: New Next.js app
command: |
mkdir {{name}} && cd {{name}}
pnpm create next-app@latest . --typescript --tailwind
git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Initial commit"
arguments:
- name: name
description: Project folder nameWarp AI in the terminal (Pro plan)
Type # followed by a natural language question ('how do I kill the process on port 3000?') and Warp suggests the command. Also explains errors when a command fails. Less powerful than Claude Code but always available, without leaving the terminal.
