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:
# 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 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 starship.toml file location with STARSHIP_CONFIG environment variable:
export STARSHIP_CONFIG=~/.starship
Equivalently in PowerShell (Windows) would be adding this line to your $PROFILE:
$ENV:STARSHIP_CONFIG = "$HOME\.starship"
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.
Variable: Smaller sub-components that contains information provided by the module. For example, the "version" variable in the "nodejs" module contains the current version of NodeJS.
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 only contains letters, numbers and _.
For example:
$versionis a format string with a variable namedversion.$git_branch$git_commitis a format string with two variables namedgit_branchandgit_commit.$git_branch $git_commithas 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 style the first part.
For example:
[on](red bold)will print a stringonwith bold text colored red.[⬢ $version](bold green)will print a symbol⬢followed by the content of variableversion, with bold text colored green.[a [b](red) c](green)will printa b cwithbred, andaandcgreen.
Style Strings
Most modules in starship allow you to configure their display styles. This is done with an entry (usually called style) which is a string specifying the configuration. Here are some examples of style strings along with what they do. For details on the full syntax, consult the advanced config guide.
"fg:green bg:blue"sets green text on a blue background"bg:blue fg:bright-green"sets bright green text on a blue background"bold fg:27"sets bold text with ANSI color 27"underline bg:#bf5700"sets underlined text on a burnt orange background"bold italic fg:purple"sets bold italic purple text""explicitly disables all styling
Note that what styling looks like will be controlled by your terminal emulator. For example, some terminal emulators will brighten the colors instead of bolding text, and some color themes use the same values for the normal and bright colors. Also, to get italic text, your terminal must support italics.
Conditional Format Strings
A conditional format string wrapped in ( and ) will not render if all variables inside are empty.
For example:
(@$region)will show nothing if the variableregionisNone, otherwise@followed by the value of region.(some text)will always show nothing since there are no variables wrapped in the braces.- When
$allis a shortcut for\[$a$b\],($all)will show nothing only if$aand$bare bothNone. This works the same as(\[$a$b\] ).
Escapable characters
The following symbols have special usage in a format string.
If you want to print the following symbols, you have to escape them with a backslash (\).
- $
- \
- [
- ]
- (
- )
Note that toml has its own escape syntax.
It is recommended to use a literal string ('') in your config.
If you want to use a basic string (""), pay attention to escape the backslash \.
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 = '''
\$'''

Directory
The directory module shows the path to your current directory, truncated to
three parent folders. Your directory will also be truncated to the root of the
git repo that you're currently in.
When using the fish style pwd option, instead of hiding the path that is truncated, you will see a shortened name of each directory based on the number you enable for the option.
For example, given ~/Dev/Nix/nixpkgs/pkgs where nixpkgs is the repo root,
and the option set to 1. You will now see ~/D/N/nixpkgs/pkgs, whereas before
it would have been nixpkgs/pkgs.
Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
truncation_length |
3 |
The number of parent folders that the current directory should be truncated to. |
truncate_to_repo |

This module has a few advanced configuration options that control how the directory is displayed.
| Advanced Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
substitutions |
A table of substitutions to be made to the path. | |
fish_style_pwd_dir_length |
0 |
The number of characters to use when applying fish shell pwd path logic. |
use_logical_path |
true |
Displays the logical path provided by the shell (PWD) instead of the path from the OS. |
substitutions allows you to define arbitrary replacements for literal strings that occur in the path, for example long network
prefixes or development directories (i.e. Java). Note that this will disable the fish style PWD.
[directory.substitutions]
"/Volumes/network/path" = "/net"
"src/com/long/java/path" = "mypath"
fish_style_pwd_dir_length interacts with the standard truncation options in a way that can be surprising at first: if it's non-zero,
the components of the path that would normally be truncated are instead displayed with that many characters. For example, the path
/built/this/city/on/rock/and/roll, which would normally be displayed as as rock/and/roll, would be displayed as
/b/t/c/o/rock/and/roll with fish_style_pwd_dir_length = 1--the path components that would normally be removed are displayed with
a single character. For fish_style_pwd_dir_length = 2, it would be /bu/th/ci/on/rock/and/roll.
Variables
| Variable | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|
| path | "D:/Projects" |
The current directory path |
| style* | "black bold dimmed" |
Mirrors the value of option style |

global.jsonproject.jsonDirectory.Build.propsDirectory.Build.targetsPackages.props*.sln*.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.

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.
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.

Example
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[custom.foo]
