Forget the default Terminal! Warp is here now.

If you're tired of customizing your terminal, then Warp is here to save you. It's a terminal with integrated utilities, themes, and especially AI. Yes, an AI-integrated terminal has emerged.
Debuting in 2023, Warp impressed with its default interface being so beautiful without any customization needed. If you've ever had to install a theme for zsh by editing text files, you'll understand how annoying it can be. Warp allows you to change themes via the UI seamlessly.

Change theme

Furthermore, have you ever had to Google how to install auto-complete and auto-suggest plugins for zsh? I know because I've been there too. But now, everything is available immediately when you install Warp. NO-ADDITIONAL-STEPS-REQUIRED. You can use the shortcut Ctrl + R to open the command search popup.

Furthermore, as I mentioned earlier, Warp integrates AI. You just need to type # into the terminal, and Warp will activate AI. The Free package of Warp allows you to send 20 AI requests per day.

Personally, I find this to be a useful feature for me. Having to open Google or ChatGPT while working in the Terminal to find commands is quite an unpleasant developer experience and disrupts my flow.

Warp is currently available only for MacOS and Linux. The developer has not announced when it will be released for Windows. Stay tuned to read the article about Warp on Windows as soon as it's released.
