Note

OpenAI is the founding sponsor of the new, open-source Warp repository, and the new agentic management workflows are powered by GPT models.

Important

This repository is a modified Warp fork rather than the official upstream Warp repository. It is based on Warp, but includes custom behavior focused on making BYOK and OpenAI-compatible backends more flexible for all users. You can discuss this fork on the Linux Do

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).

This fork is a modded build of Warp aimed at relaxing some upstream restrictions around BYOK and OpenAI-compatible integrations.

Key Features

This fork currently includes the following custom changes on top of upstream Warp:

• BYOK (Bring Your Own API Key) is enabled for all users instead of being limited by the original billing-gated behavior.
• Warp Agent can use a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL, making it easier to connect to self-hosted gateways, proxies, or third-party compatible providers.
• When the local OpenAI-compatible backend is enabled, Warp Agent requests can be sent directly from the client to the configured /v1/responses endpoint instead of going through Warp's hosted /ai/multi-agent service.
• The local OpenAI-compatible backend now supports reasoning/thinking summaries in the Warp UI, including streaming updates and the final Thought for N seconds style duration display.
• Multi-turn local OpenAI-compatible sessions now preserve reasoning context more accurately by carrying forward reasoning items, including encrypted reasoning content required by the Responses API for continued tool-using and reasoning flows.
• This branch has also been refreshed with the latest upstream Warp changes from the recent byok and master merges, so it keeps the custom BYOK/OpenAI-compatible behavior while staying aligned with newer upstream fixes and maintenance updates.

Installation

You can download Warp and read our docs for platform-specific instructions.

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.

Tip

Chat with contributors and the Warp team in the #oss-contributors Slack channel — a good place for ad-hoc questions, design discussion, and pairing with maintainers. New here? Join the Warp Slack community first, then jump into #oss-contributors.

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 CONTRIBUTING.md.

Once filed, a Warp maintainer reviews the issue and may apply a readiness label: ready-to-spec signals the design is open for contributors to spec out, and ready-to-implement signals the design is settled and code PRs are welcome. 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.
