Demo videos

Here's some nice videos of warpforge doing its thing:

Using the quickstart and writing a module:
Adding content to a catalog from the web:
Compute using hashes — this is the low-level API on display:
Awk in a box! This is what it looks like to combine a tool and a dataset (think: reproducible scientific compute, or distributable bigdata jobs):

You can also find lots of complete examples in the examples directory of the project repo — check ‘em out!

Real world Warpforge usage can be seen in two forms: Catalogs -- which contain info about released stuff -- and Workspaces -- which are

The Warpsys Catalog is a public catalog of software built using Warpforge, and (mostly) using the Zapps linking conventions.

For example, you can find packages of software such as Bash, Python, Emacs, Helix, and many more there.

This catalog is rendered to the web at https://catalog.warpsys.org/.

The raw form of this catalog can also be found as JSON files in git, on github: github.com/warptools/catalog.

The instructions to produce the stuff found released in the Warpsys catalog are all here:

This source code repo contains one large a "workspace". Within it, there's lots of "modules", each generally producing one piece of software.

Note that this is an example of a pretty large workspace. Other workspaces may have only a single module in them, and be quite simpler!

Other catalogs and workspaces might be found in other places around the internet!

There is nothing special nor blessed about the "warpsys" catalog or workspace.

Warpforge was presented at GPN20 (which is in 2022) in the talk "Build Anything with Warpforge -- Reproducibly, Decentralized, With Friends".

"Warpforge — Hashes go in, hashes come out, exec in the middle!"" was presented at IPFSCamp 2022:
