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 Add a new line before the start of the prompt.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

# Disable the newline at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false

Battery

The battery module shows how charged the device's battery is and its current charging status. The module is only visible when the device's battery is below 10%.

Options

Variable Default Description
full_symbol "•" The symbol shown when the battery is full.
charging_symbol "⇡" The symbol shown when the battery is charging.
discharging_symbol "⇣" The symbol shown when the battery is discharging.
disabled false Disables the battery module.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

[battery]
full_symbol = "🔋"
charging_symbol = "⚡️"
discharging_symbol = "💀"

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.
vicmd_symbol "" The symbol used before the text input in the prompt if zsh is in vim normal mode.
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.
disabled false Disables the cmd_duration module.

Example

# ~/.config/starship.toml

[cmd_duration]
min_time = 4

truncation_length = 8

Git Branch
