Describe the solution you'd like?

Please provide a flake.nix so that we can easily add it to the inputs of our NixOS configs.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Warp is not packaged for Nix which means we can't use it on NixOS (or generic Linux or macOS for the ones installing via Nix)

You can view the triage session on Warp.

Here's what I found while triaging this issue:

I found no first-party Nix flake or Nix install path in the current repo context or public installation docs; current Linux install paths appear focused on deb/rpm/pacman/zypper/AppImage.

Maintainer details

I concluded that feature request for first-party Nix flake support so NixOS/Nix users can install Warp from their Nix configurations..

Automated triage summary

• Type: Enhancement request for first-party Nix flake/NixOS install support.
• Evidence: The current repository has Linux packaging templates and bundle scripts for Debian, RPM, and Arch/Pacman flows, but no flake.nix or other Nix packaging files were found. Public installation docs found during triage list apt, dnf/yum, pacman, zypper, and AppImage install paths, but not Nix.
• Reproducibility: High for the feature gap; the requested first-party Nix flake is absent from the current repo context.
• Likely area/owner: Linux packaging/distribution. resources/linux/ is mapped to @acarl005 in STAKEHOLDERS.
• Duplicate check: No likely duplicate was found in the supplied recent/open issue list.

This is my automated analysis and may be incorrect. A maintainer will verify the details.

The points of warp is not packaged is not true. There is a binary format available here: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/by-name/wa/warp-terminal/package.nix

@Eveeifyeve read the issue with the title. I'm talking about flake in the repo that we can add to the inputs so that we can keep up with the latest changes etc. Also having the binary packaged doesn't give us the benefits one seeks from a Nix package because it doesn't provide the required transparency and relation to the actual code.
