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.

$ 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"
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"       ""

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.

Prompt

This is the list of prompt-wide configuration options.

Options

Variable	Default	Description
add_newline	true	Add a new line before the start of the prompt.
prompt_order	link	Configure the order in which the prompt module occurs.

Example

[[battery.display]]  # "bold red" style when capacity is between 0% and 10%
threshold = 10
style = "bold red"

[[battery.display]]  # "bold yellow" style when capacity is between 10% and 30%
threshold = 30
style = "bold yellow"

# when capacity is over 30%, the battery indicator will not be displayed

Character

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

The character will tell you whether the last command was successful or not. It can do this in two ways: by changing color (red/green) or by changing its shape (❯/✖). The latter will only be done if use_symbol_for_status is set to true.

Options

Variable	Default	Description
symbol	"❯"	The symbol used before the text input in the prompt.
error_symbol	"✖"	The symbol used before text input if the previous command failed.
use_symbol_for_status	false	Indicate error status by changing the symbol.

style_failure	"bold red"	The style used if the last command failed.
disabled	false	Disables the character module.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

[character]
symbol = "➜"
error_symbol = "✗"
use_symbol_for_status = true

Command Duration

The cmd_duration module shows how long the last command took to execute. The module will be shown only if the command took longer than two seconds, or the min_time config value, if it exists.

::: warning Do not hook the DEBUG trap in Bash

If you are running Starship in bash, do not hook the DEBUG trap after running eval $(starship init $0), or this module will break.

:::

Bash users who need preexec-like functionality can use rcaloras's bash_preexec framework. Simply define the arrays preexec_functions and precmd_functions before running eval $(starship init $0), and then proceed as normal.

Options

Variable	Default	Description
min_time	2	Shortest duration to show time for.
prefix	took	Prefix to display immediately before the command duration.
style	"bold yellow"	The style for the module.
disabled	false	Disables the cmd_duration module.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

[cmd_duration]
min_time = 4
prefix = "underwent "

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	true	Whether or not to truncate to the root of the git repo that you're currently in.
style	"bold cyan"	The style for the module.
disabled	false	Disables the directory module.

This module has a few advanced configuration options that control how the directory is displayed.

Variable	Default	Description
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.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

[directory]
truncation_length = 8

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.

This module will only be shown in your prompt when one of the following files are present in the current directory: global.json, project.json, *.sln, *.csproj, *.fsproj, *.xproj. You'll also need the .NET Core command-line tools 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.

Options

Variable	Default	Description
symbol	"•NET "	The symbol used before displaying the version of dotnet.
style	"bold blue"	The style for the module.
heuristic	true	Use faster version detection to keep starship snappy.
