Terminal Block Basics

The basics

• Blocks group your command and command output
• The Input Editor can pin to the bottom, pin to the top, or start at the top.
• Blocks grow from the bottom to the top.
• Blocks are color-coded. Blocks that quit with a non-zero exit code have a red background and red sidebar.

Create a block

1. Execute a command (type ls and hit Enter) in the Input Editor at the bottom of the screen.
2. Your command and output are grouped into a Block.
3. Try executing a different command (type echo hello and hit Enter).
4. Warp adds your newly created Block to the bottom (directly above the input editor).
