Raw Blame History

Configuration

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

mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml

All configuration for starship is done in this TOML file:

# Inserts a blank line between shell prompts
add_newline = true

# Replace the "❯" symbol in the prompt with "➜"
[character] # The name of the module we are configuring is "character"
success_symbol = "[➜](bold green)" # The "success_symbol" segment is being set to "➜" with the color "bold green"

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

You can change default configuration file location with STARSHIP_CONFIG environment variable:

export STARSHIP_CONFIG=~/example/non/default/path/starship.toml

Equivalently in PowerShell (Windows) would be adding this line to your $PROFILE:

$ENV:STARSHIP_CONFIG = "$HOME\example\non\default\path\starship.toml"

Or for Cmd (Windows) would be adding this line to your starship.lua:

os.setenv('STARSHIP_CONFIG', 'C:\\Users\\user\\example\\non\\default\\path\\starship.toml')

Logging

By default starship logs warnings and errors into a file named ~/.cache/starship/session_${STARSHIP_SESSION_KEY}.log, where the session key is corresponding to a instance of your terminal. This, however can be changed using the STARSHIP_CACHE environment variable:

export STARSHIP_CACHE=~/.starship/cache

Equivalently in PowerShell (Windows) would be adding this line to your $PROFILE:

$ENV:STARSHIP_CACHE = "$HOME\AppData\Local\Temp"

Or for Cmd (Windows) would be adding this line to your starship.lua:

os.setenv('STARSHIP_CACHE', 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Temp')

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 Node.js that is currently installed on your computer, if your current directory is a Node.js project.

Variable: Smaller sub-components that contain information provided by the module. For example, the "version" variable in the "nodejs" module contains the current version of Node.js.

By convention, most modules have a prefix of default terminal color (e.g. via in "nodejs") and an empty space as a suffix.

Format Strings

Format strings are the format that a module prints all its variables with. Most modules have an entry called format that configures the display format of the module. You can use texts, variables and text groups in a format string.

Variable

A variable contains a $ symbol followed by the name of the variable. The name of a variable can only contain letters, numbers and _.

For example:

$version is a format string with a variable named version.
$git_branch$git_commit is a format string with two variables named git_branch and git_commit.
$git_branch $git_commit has the two variables separated with a space.

Text Group

A text group is made up of two different parts.

The first part, which is enclosed in a [], is a format string. You can add texts, variables, or even nested text groups in it.

In the second part, which is enclosed in a (), is a style string. This can be used to style the first part.

For example:

[on](red bold) will print a string on with bold text colored red.
[⌘ $version](bold green) will print a symbol ⌘ followed by the content of variable version, with bold text colored green.
[a [b](red) c](green) will print a b c with b red, and a and c green.

Style Strings

Most modules in starship allow you to configure their display styles. This is done with an entry (usually called style) which is a string specifying the configuration. Here are some examples of style strings along with what they do. For details on the full syntax, consult the advanced config guide.

"fg:green bg:blue" sets green text on a blue background
"bg:blue fg:bright-green" sets bright green text on a blue background
"bold fg:27" sets bold text with ANSI color 27
"underline bg:#bf5700" sets underlined text on a burnt orange background
"bold italic fg:purple" sets bold italic purple text
"" explicitly disables all styling

Note that what styling looks like will be controlled by your terminal emulator. For example, some terminal emulators will brighten the colors instead of bolding text, and some color themes use the same values for the normal and bright colors. Also, to get italic text, your terminal must support italics.

Conditional Format Strings

A conditional format string wrapped in ( and ) will not render if all variables inside are empty.

For example:

(@$region) will show nothing if the variable region is None or empty string, otherwise @ followed by the value of region.
(some text) will always show nothing since there are no variables wrapped in the braces.
When $all is a shortcut for \[$a$b\], ($all) will show nothing only if $a and $b are both None. This works the same as (\[$a$b\] ).

Special characters

The following symbols have special usage in a format string and must be escaped: $ \ [ ] ( ).

Note that TOML has both basic strings and literal strings. It is recommended to use a literal string (surrounded by single quotes) in your config. If you want to use a basic string (surrounded by double quotes), you must escape the backslash itself (i.e. use \\).

For example, when you want to print a $ symbol on a new line, the following configs for format are equivalent:

# with basic string
format = "\n\\$"

# with multiline basic string
format = """

\\$"""

# with literal string
format = '''

\$'''

Dotnet

The dotnet module shows the relevant version of the .NET Core SDK for the current directory. If the SDK has been pinned in the current directory, the pinned version is shown. Otherwise the module shows the latest installed version of the SDK.

global.json
project.json
Directory.Build.props
Directory.Build.targets
Packages.props
*.csproj
*.fsproj
*.xproj

You'll also need the .NET Core SDK installed in order to use it correctly.

Internally, this module uses its own mechanism for version detection. Typically it is twice as fast as running dotnet --version, but it may show an incorrect version if your .NET project has an unusual directory layout. If accuracy is more important than speed, you can disable the mechanism by setting heuristic = false in the module options.

The module will also show the Target Framework Moniker (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/frameworks#supported-target-framework-versions) when there is a csproj file in the current directory.

".*/openshift-cluster/.*" = "openshift"
"gke_.*_(?P<cluster>[\\w-]+)" = "gke-$cluster"

Regex Matching

Additional to simple aliasing, context_aliases also supports extended matching and renaming using regular expressions.

The regular expression must match on the entire kube context, capture groups can be referenced using $name and $N in the replacement. This is more explained in the regex crate documentation.

Long and automatically generated cluster names can be identified and shortened using regular expressions:

[kubernetes.context_aliases]
# OpenShift contexts carry the namespace and user in the kube context: `namespace/name/user`:
".*/openshift-cluster/.*" = "openshift"
# Or better, to rename every OpenShift cluster at once:
".*/(?P<cluster>[\\w-]+)/.*" = "$cluster"

# Contexts from GKE, AWS and other cloud providers usually carry additional information, like the region/zone.
# The following entry matches on the GKE format (`gke_projectname_zone_cluster-name`)
# and renames every matching kube context into a more readable format (`gke-cluster-name`):
"gke_.*_(?P<cluster>[\\w-]+)" = "gke-$cluster"

`disabled`	`false`	Disables the `python` module.

::: tip

The python_binary variable accepts either a string or a list of strings. Starship will try executing each binary until it gets a result. Note you can only change the binary that Starship executes to get the version of Python not the arguments that are used.

The default values and order for python_binary was chosen to first identify the Python version in a virtualenv/conda environments (which currently still add a python, no matter if it points to python3 or python2). This has the side effect that if you still have a system Python 2 installed, it may be picked up before any Python 3 (at least on Linux Distros that always symlink /usr/bin/python to Python 2). If you do not work with Python 2 anymore but cannot remove the system Python 2, changing this to "python3" will hide any Python version 2, see example below.

The when command returns 0
The current Operating System (std::env::consts::OS) matchs with os field if defined.

::: tip

Multiple custom modules can be defined by using a ..

:::

::: tip

The order in which custom modules are shown can be individually set by including ${custom.foo} in the top level format (as it includes a dot, you need to use ${...}). By default, the custom module will simply show all custom modules in the order they were defined.

:::

::: tip

Issue #1252 contains examples of custom modules. If you have an interesting example not covered there, feel free to share it there!

:::

::: warning Command output is printed unescaped to the prompt

Whatever output the command generates is printed unmodified in the prompt. This means if the output contains special sequences that are interpreted by your shell they will be expanded when displayed. These special sequences are shell specific, e.g. you can write a command module that writes bash sequences, e.g. \h, but this module will not work in a fish or zsh shell.

Format strings can also contain shell specific prompt sequences, e.g. Bash, Zsh.

:::

Options

Option	Default	Description
`command`	`""`	The command whose output should be printed. The command will be passed on stdin to the shell.
`when`		A shell command used as a condition to show the module. The module will be shown if the command returns a `0` status code.

`description`	`"<custom module>"`	The description of the module that is shown when running `starship explain`.
`files`	`[]`	The files that will be searched in the working directory for a match.
`directories`	`[]`	The directories that will be searched in the working directory for a match.
`extensions`	`[]`	The extensions that will be searched in the working directory for a match.

Variables

Variable	Description
output	The output of shell command in `shell`
symbol	Mirrors the value of option `symbol`
style*	Mirrors the value of option `style`

*: This variable can only be used as a part of a style string

Custom command shell

shell accepts a non-empty list of strings, where:

The first string is the path to the shell to use to execute the command.
Other following arguments are passed to the shell.

If unset, it will fallback to STARSHIP_SHELL and then to "sh" on Linux, and "cmd /C" on Windows.

The command will be passed in on stdin.

If shell is not given or only contains one element and Starship detects PowerShell will be used, the following arguments will automatically be added: -NoProfile -Command -. This behavior can be avoided by explicitly passing arguments to the shell, e.g.

shell = ["pwsh", "-Command", "-"]

::: warning Make sure your custom shell configuration exits gracefully

If you set a custom command, make sure that the default Shell used by starship will properly execute the command with a graceful exit (via the shell option).

For example, PowerShell requires the -Command parameter to execute a one liner. Omitting this parameter might throw starship into a recursive loop where the shell might try to load a full profile environment with starship itself again and hence re-execute the custom command, getting into a never ending loop.

Parameters similar to -NoProfile in PowerShell are recommended for other shells as well to avoid extra loading time of a custom profile on every starship invocation.

Automatic detection of shells and proper parameters addition are currently implemented, but it's possible that not all shells are covered. Please open an issue with shell details and starship configuration if you hit such scenario.
