Starship

Starship is a fast, customizable, and minimal prompt for any shell. written in Rust, It displays relevant information like the current directory, Git status, runtime versions, and more, adapting to the context with minimal configuration. It supports multiple shells, including Bash, Zsh, Fish, PowerShell and a lot of other shells, and your configuration will stay persistent across all these shells and is designed for speed and efficiency.

Installation

Using nix-shell

nix-shell -p starship

Using Global Configuration

environment.systemPackages = [
  pkgs.starship
];

After modifying your configuration, apply the changes by running:

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

Using Home Configuration

home.packages = [ 
  pkgs.starship 
];

After updating your configuration, apply the changes by running:

home-manager switch

Configuration

Basic

  programs.starship.enable = true; #enable starship

after you have installed starship you need to source it in your shell

Bash:

eval "$(starship init bash)"

zsh:

eval "$(starship init zsh)"

fish:

starship init fish | source

if you use other shells than what I just mentioned please head to this page

Advanced

you can customize starship with Nix (here's a snippet to understand) :

programs.starship = {
      enable = true;
      settings = {
        add_newline = true;
        command_timeout = 1300;
        scan_timeout = 50;
        format= "$all$nix_shell$nodejs$lua$golang$rust$php$git_branch$git_commit$git_state$git_status\n$username$hostname$directory";
        character = {
          success_symbol = "[](bold green) ";
          error_symbol = "[✗](bold red) ";
        };
      };
};

since we can't include every option on Starship here's a GitHub link containing every configuration option

and here's the official documentation to explain each option starship configuration guide

good luck :D
