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 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
Variable | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
add_newline |
true |

prompt_order |
link | Configure the order in which the prompt module occurs. |
Example
# ~/.config/starship.toml
# Disable the newline at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false
# Overwrite a default_prompt_order and use custom prompt_order
prompt_order=["rust","line_break","package","line_break","character"]
Default prompt order
The default_prompt_order
configuration option is used to define the order in which modules are shown in the prompt, if empty or no prompt_order
is provided. The default is as shown:
default_prompt_order = [
"username",
"directory",
"git_branch",
"git_status",
"package",
"nodejs",
"ruby",
"rust",
"python",
"golang",
"cmd_duration",
"line_break",
"jobs",
"battery",
"character",
]
Battery

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

and precmd_functions
before
running eval $(starship init $0)
, and then proceed as normal.
