I'm really pumped to see the Project Explorer feature! Great addition, this will surely ease my transition from VScode.

Quick question... if I'm ssh'd into my Linux VPS from macOS (or Windows), with a Warpify shell enabled, can I use the Project Explorer to view the file system on the Linux VPS? I've tried the keyboard shortcut and looked for the icon, but neither seem to be available. I asked AI and the response sounded promising, saying it was available, but I feel this might have been a hallucination.

Short answer: not yet.

Warp’s File Tree (Project Explorer) is a native view that appears when you’re in a local, Git‑tracked repository. The docs don’t mention support for browsing a remote filesystem over SSH, even when the session is Warpified; the feature is described only for local repos and opens files in Warp’s native editor locally (File Tree). The SSH/warpify docs focus on enabling terminal features (blocks, completions, input editor) via the SSH wrapper and tmux, not remote file browsing or a remote file tree UI (SSH, SSH Legacy).

There are older GitHub requests asking for a file browser; those predate the current File Tree and don’t indicate remote-SSH support either (File Browser request, File system discovery view).

So today, the Project Explorer works for local Git repos, not for remote SSH filesystems. If this is important for your workflow, consider opening or upvoting an issue to track remote file tree support.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
