## What it is
Warp is a Go-based CLI tool for securely sharing a live terminal session with others via a simple `warp open` command. Clients connect read-only by default over TLS, and the host can grant or revoke write access per user.

## Use cases
- share my terminal with a teammate for debugging
- pair program without ssh or tmux setup
- onboard a new engineer by walking through code together in a shared shell
- let someone run commands on my machine remotely with write access
- broadcast a terminal session read-only to multiple viewers

## When to choose
- you want one-command terminal sharing without SSH access or a shared server
- you need read-only-by-default sharing with explicit write-access grants
- you're on macOS or Linux and want a lightweight pairing tool

## When to avoid
- you need mature, actively maintained software (last release 2018, experimental)
- you need full multi-window tmux-style session management
- you can't rely on a third-party warpd relay server for security or compliance reasons
