# Configuration

::: tip
🔥 Configuration is currently being worked on.
Many new configuration options will be available in coming releases.
:::

To get started configuring starship, create the following file: `~/.config/starship.toml`.

```shell
$ touch ~/.config/starship.toml
```

All configuration for starship is done in this [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file:

```toml
# Don't print a new line at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false

# Replace the "➜" symbol in the prompt with "❯"
[character]      # The name of the module we are confguring is "character"
symbol = "❯"     # The "symbol" segment is being set to "❯"

# Disable the package module, hiding it from the prompt completely
[package]
disabled = true
```

### Terminology

**Module**: A component in the prompt giving information based on contextual information from your OS. For example, the "nodejs" module shows the version of NodeJS that is currently installed on your computer, if your current directory is a NodeJS project.

**Segment**: Smaller sub-components that compose a module. For example, the "symbol" segment in the "nodejs" module contains the character that is shown before the version number (⬢ by default).

Here is the representation of the node module. In the following example, "symbol" and "version"
are segments within it. Every module also has a prefix and suffix that are the default terminal color.

```
[prefix]      [symbol]     [version]    [suffix]
 "via "         "⬢"        "v10.4.1"       ""
```

## Prompt

This is the list of prompt-wide configuration options.

### Options

| ------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `add_newline` | `true`  | Add a new line before the start of the prompt. |

### Example

```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml

# Disable the newline at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false
```

## Battery

The `battery` module shows how charged the device's battery is and its current charging status.
The module is only visible when the device's battery is below 10%.

| `disabled`           | `false` | Disables the `battery` module.                    |

### Example

```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml

```

## Character

The `character` module shows a character (usually an arrow) beside where the text
is entered in your terminal.

The character will be green if the status of your
last command had a successful status code (zero), and will be red if the last
command had an unsuccessful status code (non-zero).
