Raw Blame History

⚠️ Starship is still a work in progress but is now far enough along to be used as a prompt (I personally use it as my daily driver)

Starship is a Rust port of the minimalistic, powerful, and extremely customizable prompt Spaceship ZSH.

Starship with Hyper and One Dark

Development plans

The project is beginning as a port of Spaceship ZSH, but will be improved in areas where Spaceship ZSH was previously limited:

Speed
Concurrency of segment logic execution
- Memoization of expensive operations
Safety and error handling
Testability of code
Configuration
- Cross-shell support with JSON or TOML config files

We will not be aiming to achieve full parity with Spaceship ZSH as a result, so I am very open to discussing and reevaluating new solutions and ideas for the prompt.

I'm very new to Rust, so any help is appreciated when it comes to improving development patterns, writing idiomatic Rust, performance, safety, etc. 😄
