What runs when you open a Warp tab?
Warp opens a shell. The supported choices depend on your operating system. Open a tab you know is local and confirm its shell before following a guide. In a local Zsh or Bash tab, pwd shows the folder. In a local PowerShell tab, use Get-Location. Warp groups the command and its output into a block so you can refer to that result later.
Do you need an account or paid plan to use the terminal?
Warp documents an internet connection for the first launch and optional login. The Free plan includes core terminal features, which can run offline after setup. Regular shell commands and non-AI terminal features do not use the agent allowance. Check the platform requirements before installing and the plan terms if you choose online features.
How would you find a folder check among earlier commands?
On paper, draw two blocks with the same folder-check command but different fictional outputs. Use their tab names and the expected folder to decide which one answers your question. Keep the result private. You do not need to install Warp or create a link to rehearse this.
