Hi, Is there any way to open a new warp tab by setting the custom zshrc file ? I am trying to set my shortcut in the zshrc file, and the goal is to open mutiple tab in Warp and run the specfic command for each tab

Is there any way to open Warp in a particular directory from a shell script? Looking for similar behaviour to vscode: code ./some/directory

I came from using Iterm2, and in the settings I was able to set a file to be source on launch ( ~/.bash_profile).
Is there a way to do this in warp?

• Moved to #345 - Tab API #566

Describe the solution you'd like?

I just used iTerm2's Python API to create a python script in my monorepo that creates a bunch of tabs to run different services (e.g. docker compose, API server, Next.js dev server, iOS simulator, etc). It's great because I can easily start my whole dev environment with one command and have a meaningful tab name set for each tab. I would have preferred to use Node.js instead of Python, but not a big deal. Really liking Warp so far but this is what I am still using iTerm2 for.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Here's an example of a tab I create in the script:

 # Create a new tab and run the Docker Compose services.
 tab = await window.async_create_tab()
 await tab.async_set_title('Docker')
 command = f'cd {root}/packages/web; yarn docker\n'
 await tab.current_session.async_send_text(command)

• Moved to #345 - Support a startup command argument #307

Describe the solution you'd like?

Possibly related to #102 but in the default mac terminal and iTerm you can use a command like: open -a terminal ./path/to/directory and it will open the terminal window/tab at that directory - (which I use frequently in combination with Launchbar (https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/index.php?chapter=OtherFeatures#:~:text=Select%20a%20folder%20in%20LaunchBar,pressing%20Tab%20and%20selecting%20Terminal.)

Currently running open -a Warp ./path/to/directory just opens Warp at my home directory instead of the specified one

Make it super easy to do a "open Warp to this directory" and 90% of our scriptability needs will be met.
Heck supporting a "warp:///newterminal/path=~/Downloads" URL scheme would be the easiest by far.

I wanted to configure warp as an external tool to be launched from my IDE. It would be very convenient if I could pass my project's directory (which is available in tool launch config) to warp so it would start from that directory.

hey all, after a bit of messing around it would be pretty neat to be able to have ways to open warp with specific splits and applications running in each one. E.g. when opening project X, a docker container runs up in the left hand split and a node server runs on the right hand. I suppose it's a bit similar to customizable tasks like mentioned above

Was looking for a way to send a command to Warp from AppleScript or from another bash. Something like the following that I use for iTerm:

if application "iTerm" is running then
 tell application "iTerm"
 set newWindow to (create window with default profile)
 tell newWindow
 tell current tab
 tell current session
 write text "ls"
 end tell
 end tell
 end tell
 end tell
else
 tell application "iTerm"
 tell current window
 tell current tab
 tell current session
 write text "ls"
 end tell
 end tell
 end tell
 end tell
end if

• Custom Prompt (PS1, Starship, Powerlevel10k) #422
• Custom Prompt (PS1, Starship, Powerlevel10k) #422 (comment)

Is there a way to programmatically(i.e., from a shell script) check if the "Honor user's custom prompt (PS1) setting" is set or not?

The use case is tooling for ops; we wanna make sure that if you are operating prod, you'll see it in your prompt.

The ability to run Warp with a startup directory argument (or pass it to a running instance) would be very valuable for such use cases as running terminal from some other software like file managers and IDEs. I'd be happy to see this supported.

I'm trying to login after proxied by export xxx_proxy='', after running /Applications/Warp.app/Contents/MacOS/stable I got this:

It seems like Warp has added exactly what I was looking for with "Launch Configurations" as described in the docs: https://docs.warp.dev/features/session-management/launch-configurations
But I don't actually see this feature in the latest version. Is this in beta or something?

This command works for me: open -a Warp.app ~/Documents

It only works in terminal such as by open -a Warp.app .

But it still gives an error if we try to use the Foundation API of NSWorkspace in ObjectiveC or Swift.

do {
	let application = try await NSWorkspace.shared.open(urls, withApplicationAt: url, configuration: config)
} catch {
	// Error handling
}

I have a Finder-Sync extension app (Open Sourced at https://github.com/Kyle-Ye/MenuHelper) and will use such API to try to open with Warp.

Other standard apps which is able to open url are all OK with such API call. (Git Tower/Xcode/VS Code/Terminal/IntelliJ IDEA etc.)

Didn't know this already worked !!! Thank you so much for sharing

From the NSWorkspace header it looks like this could be the issue when trying to open from Cocoa: The path to the application instance is always automatically inserted as the first argument.

In that case only the Warp developers can fix things for us.

/* Command-line arguments to pass to a new application instance. Defaults to @[].
 Only applies when a new application instance is created.
 The path to the application instance is always automatically inserted as the first argument.
 If the calling process is sandboxed, the value of this property is ignored. */
@property (copy) NSArray<NSString *> *arguments;

From @sd-godaddy on #2215

launch Warp from any other terminal:
open /Applications/Warp.app --args /Users/mysusername/Workspace/PEX_dev/myprojectname
It opens warp but clearly passing arg /Users/mysusername/Workspace/PEX_dev/myprojectname
is not making Warp to open in this location.
Probably Warp is not accepting arguments at all.

A huge use case in my workflows is having scripts launch iTerm windows with profiles set with single TUI application running, with the window automatically closing afterwards:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import iterm2
import AppKit
import sys
bundle = "com.googlecode.iterm2"
if not AppKit.NSRunningApplication.runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier_(bundle):
 AppKit.NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace().launchApplication_("iTerm")
async def main(connection):
 app = await iterm2.async_get_app(connection)
 if len(sys.argv) > 2:
 window = await iterm2.Window.async_create(connection, profile = str(sys.argv[1]), command = str(sys.argv[2]))
 else:
 window = await iterm2.Window.async_create(connection, profile = str(sys.argv[1]))
 await window.async_activate()
 apps = AppKit.NSRunningApplication.runningApplicationsWithBundleIdentifier_(bundle)
 apps[0].activateWithOptions_(AppKit.NSApplicationActivateIgnoringOtherApps)
iterm2.run_until_complete(main)

It's painfully slow, though, and I would love to have a more responsive application start things up. This does require a "start with profile x running" feature from the CLI interface.

Hey Folks, Warp has released a public URI Scheme which has been used to create a Raycast extension to open folders with Warp (among other things). Learn more about it here: https://docs.warp.dev/features/uri-scheme

We'll update that document as new features are added.

Here's how an AppleScript for Raycast can look like:

#!/usr/bin/osascript
# Required parameters:
# @raycast.schemaVersion 1
# @raycast.title Warp
# @raycast.mode silent
# Optional parameters:
# @raycast.argument1 { "type": "text", "placeholder": "Command" }
# Documentation:
# @raycast.author electerious
# @raycast.authorURL https://raycast.com/electerious
on run argv
	tell application "Warp" to activate
	tell application "System Events" to tell process "Warp" to keystroke "t" using command down
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "Warp"
			keystroke "" & ( item 1 of argv )
			key code 36
		end tell
	end tell
end run

Thanks to @flaxton for the inspiration. It's not perfect, but better than nothing.

For Linux users (Specifically arch based distros) using warp-terminal I made this quick script and put it in my .config/warp-terminal directory. Works well for me.

#!/bin/bash
# Make sure to run the following
# sudo chmod +x $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh
# sudo ln -s $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh /usr/bin/warp
usage() {
 echo "Usage: 0ドル <path_to_folder>"
 echo " 0ドル [-r | --reuse] <path_to_folder>"
 exit 1
}
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
 warp-terminal # Opens warp normally
fi
# https://docs.warp.dev/features/uri-scheme
if [[ "1ドル" == "-r" || "1ドル" == "--reuse" ]]; then
 if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
 usage
 fi
 path="2ドル"
 xdg-open "warp://action/new_window?path=$path"
else
 path="1ドル"
 xdg-open "warp://action/new_tab?path=$path"
fi

Here is little modification to @artrixdotdev script for Linux and VS Code users. In terminal.external.linuxExec you cannot add parameters. So to make VS Code "Open new external terminal" works as expected - opening terminal in project location - do following:

1. Use modified script below and store into new file in .config/warp-terminal
2. Run sudo chmod +x $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh
3. Run ln -s $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh /usr/bin/warp
4. Set "terminal.external.linuxExec": "warp" in VS Code settings
5. 🎉

#!/bin/bash
# Make sure to run the following
# sudo chmod +x $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh
# sudo ln -s $HOME/.config/warp-terminal/warp.sh /usr/bin/warp
usage() {
 echo "Usage: 0ドル"
 echo "Usage: 0ドル <path_to_folder>"
 echo " 0ドル [-r | --reuse] <path_to_folder>"
 exit 1
}
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]]; then
 WD="$(pwd)"
 if [[ "$WD" != "" ]]; then
 xdg-open "warp://action/new_tab?path=${WD}"
 else
 warp-terminal # Opens warp normally
 fi
 exit 0
fi
# https://docs.warp.dev/features/uri-scheme
if [[ "1ドル" == "-r" || "1ドル" == "--reuse" ]]; then
 if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then
 usage
 fi
 path="2ドル"
 xdg-open "warp://action/new_window?path=$path"
else
 path="1ドル"
 xdg-open "warp://action/new_tab?path=$path"
fi

On MacOS to open warp via a command line which I added to my .zshrc

### Function to open a new Warp terminal tab at the specified path
#### Usage: warp [path] - Opens a new Warp tab at the given path or current directory if no path is provided
warp() {
 local target_path="${1:-.}"
 open "warp://action/new_tab?path=$(cd "$target_path" && pwd)"
}

Warp Preview now has a cli.

Great! Is there any way to have split pane similar to Wezterm or good old tmux?

Hi, just following up on this issue, being able to open panes and splits via bash or AppleScript would greatly improve my Claude Code experience, as I could have it show me text or image files!

just wanted to add aside from the agent it would be nice to change user settings from the cli as well
