All configuration for starship is done in this [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file:
```toml
# 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
```
You can change default `starship.toml` file location with `STARSHIP_CONFIG` environment variable:
```sh
export STARSHIP_CONFIG=~/.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.
**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](/advanced-config/).
-`"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](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KTSQa.png) 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.
# Wait 10 milliseconds for starship to check files under the current directory.
scan_timeout = 10
```
### Default Prompt Order
The default `prompt_order` 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:
```toml
prompt_order = [
"username",
"hostname",
"kubernetes",
"directory",
"git_branch",
"git_commit",
"git_state",
"git_status",
"hg_branch",
"docker_context",
"package",
"dotnet",
"elixir",
"elm",
"erlang",
"golang",
"haskell",
"java",
"julia",
"nodejs",
"php",
"python",
"ruby",
"rust",
"terraform",
"nix_shell",
"conda",
"memory_usage",
"aws",
"env_var",
"crystal",
"cmd_duration",
"custom",
"line_break",
"jobs",
"battery",
"time",
"character",
]
```
## AWS
The `aws` module shows the current AWS region and profile. This is based on `AWS_REGION`, `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, and `AWS_PROFILE` env var with `~/.aws/config` file.
When using [aws-vault](https://github.com/99designs/aws-vault) the profile is read from the `AWS_VAULT` env var.
| `symbol` | `"☁️ "` | The symbol used before displaying the current AWS profile. |
| `displayed_items` | `all` | Choose which item to display. Possible values: [`all`, `profile`, `region`] |
| `region_aliases` | | Table of region aliases to display in addition to the AWS name. |
| `style` | `"bold yellow"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `AWS` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[aws]
style = "bold blue"
symbol = "🅰 "
displayed_items = "region"
[aws.region_aliases]
ap-southeast-2 = "au"
us-east-1 = "va"
```
## 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%.
| `unknown_symbol` | The symbol shown when the battery state is unknown. |
| `empty_symbol` | The symbol shown when the battery state is empty. |
Note: Battery indicator will be hidden if the status is `unknown` or `empty` unless you specify the option in the config.
</details>
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[battery]
full_symbol = "🔋"
charging_symbol = "⚡️"
discharging_symbol = "💀"
```
### Battery Display
The `display` configuration option is used to define when the battery indicator should be shown (threshold) and what it looks like (style). If no `display` is provided. The default is as shown:
```toml
[[battery.display]]
threshold = 10
style = "bold red"
```
#### Options
The `display` option is an array of the following table.
| `threshold` | The upper bound for the display option. |
| `style` | The style used if the display option is in use. |
#### Example
```toml
[[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`.
| `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 shell is in vim normal mode. |
| `style_success` | `"bold green"` | The style used if the last command was successful. |
| `style_failure` | `"bold red"` | The style used if the last command failed. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `character` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.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](https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec). Simply define the arrays `preexec_functions` and `precmd_functions` before running `eval $(starship init $0)`, and then proceed as normal.
| `truncation_length` | `1` | The number of directories the environment path should be truncated to, if the environment was created via `conda create -p [path]`. `0` means no truncation. Also see the [`directory`](#directory) module. |
| `symbol` | `"C "` | The symbol used before the environment name. |
| `style` | `"bold green"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `conda` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[conda]
style = "dimmed green"
```
## Crystal
The `crystal` module shows the currently installed version of Crystal. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a `shard.yml` file
| `symbol` | `"🔮 "` | The symbol used before displaying the version of crystal. |
| `style` | `"bold red"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `crystal` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[crystal]
symbol = "✨ "
style = "bold blue"
```
## 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`.
| `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. |
`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`.
</details>
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[directory]
truncation_length = 8
```
## Docker Context
The `docker_context` module shows the currently active [Docker context](https://docs.docker.com/engine/context/working-with-contexts/) if it's not set to `default`.
| `symbol` | `"🐳 "` | The symbol used before displaying the Docker context . |
| `only_with_files` | `false` | Only show when there's a `docker-compose.yml` or `Dockerfile` in the current directory. |
| `style` | `"bold blue"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `true` | Disables the `docker_context` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[docker_context]
symbol = "🐋 "
```
## 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.
| `symbol` | `"•NET "` | The symbol used before displaying the version of dotnet. |
| `heuristic` | `true` | Use faster version detection to keep starship snappy. |
| `style` | `"bold blue"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `dotnet` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[dotnet]
symbol = "🥅 "
style = "green"
heuristic = false
```
## Elixir
The `elixir` module shows the currently installed version of Elixir and Erlang/OTP. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a `mix.exs` file.
The `env_var` module displays the current value of a selected environment variable. The module will be shown only if any of the following conditions are met:
| `commit_hash_length` | `7` | The length of the displayed git commit hash. |
| `prefix` | `"("` | Prefix to display immediately before git commit. |
| `suffix` | `")"` | Suffix to display immediately after git commit. |
| `style` | `"bold green"` | The style for the module. |
| `only_detached` | `true` | Only show git commit hash when in detached HEAD state |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `git_commit` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[git_commit]
commit_hash_length = 4
```
## Git State
The `git_state` module will show in directories which are part of a git repository, and where there is an operation in progress, such as: _REBASING_, _BISECTING_, etc. If there is progress information (e.g., REBASING 3/10), that information will be shown too.
| `symbol` | `"🐹 "` | The symbol used before displaying the version of Golang. |
| `style` | `"bold cyan"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `golang` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[golang]
symbol = "🏎💨 "
```
## Haskell
The `haskell` module shows the currently installed version of Haskell Stack version. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a `stack.yaml` file
| `ssh_only` | `true` | Only show hostname when connected to an SSH session. |
| `prefix` | `""` | Prefix to display immediately before the hostname. |
| `suffix` | `""` | Suffix to display immediately after the hostname. |
| `trim_at` | `"."` | String that the hostname is cut off at, after the first match. `"."` will stop after the first dot. `""` will disable any truncation |
| `style` | `"bold dimmed green"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `hostname` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[hostname]
ssh_only = false
prefix = "⟪"
suffix = "⟫"
trim_at = ".companyname.com"
disabled = false
```
## Java
The `java` module shows the currently installed version of Java. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a `pom.xml`, `build.gradle.kts`, `build.sbt` or `.java-version` file
- The current directory contains a file with the `.java`, `.class`, `.gradle` or `.jar` extension
| `symbol` | `"☕ "` | The symbol used before displaying the version of Java. |
| `style` | `"dimmed red"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `java` module. |

```
## Kubernetes
Displays the current Kubernetes context name and, if set, the namespace from the kubeconfig file. The namespace needs to be set in the kubeconfig file, this can be done via `kubectl config set-context starship-cluster --namespace astronaut`. If the `$KUBECONFIG` env var is set the module will use that if not it will use the `~/.kube/config`.
::: tip
This module is disabled by default. To enable it, set `disabled` to `false` in your configuration file.
| `symbol` | `"⬢ "` | The symbol used before displaying the version of NodeJS. |
| `style` | `"bold green"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `nodejs` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[nodejs]
symbol = "🤖 "
```
## Package Version
The `package` module is shown when the current directory is the repository for a package, and shows its current version. The module currently supports `npm`, `cargo`, `poetry`, `composer`, `gradle`, `julia` and `mix` packages.
- **npm** – The `npm` package version is extracted from the `package.json` present in the current directory
- **cargo** – The `cargo` package version is extracted from the `Cargo.toml` present in the current directory
- **poetry** – The `poetry` package version is extracted from the `pyproject.toml` present in the current directory
- **composer** – The `composer` package version is extracted from the `composer.json` present in the current directory
- **gradle** – The `gradle` package version is extracted from the `build.gradle` present
- **julia** - The package version is extracted from the `Project.toml` present
- **mix** - The `mix` package version is extracted from the `mix.exs` present
> ⚠️ The version being shown is that of the package whose source code is in your current directory, not your package manager.
If `pyenv_version_name` is set to `true`, it will display the pyenv version name. Otherwise, it will display the version number from `python --version`.
| `label` | `""` | Prefix before the image name display. |
| `prefix` | `"["` | Prefix to display immediately before image name. |
| `suffix` | `"]"` | Suffix to display immediately after image name. |
| `symbol` | `""` | The symbol used before the image name. |
| `style` | `"bold dimmed blue"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `singularity` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[singularity]
symbol = "📦 "
```
## Terraform
The `terraform` module shows the currently selected terraform workspace and version. By default the terraform version is not shown, since this is slow on current versions of terraform when a lot of plugins are in use. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a `.terraform` folder
- Current directory contains a file with the `.tf` extension
| `symbol` | `"💠 "` | The symbol used before displaying the terraform workspace. |
| `show_version` | `false` | Shows the terraform version. Very slow on large workspaces. |
| `style` | `"bold 105"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `terraform` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[terraform]
symbol = "🏎💨 "
```
## Time
The `time` module shows the current **local** time. The `format` configuration value is used by the [`chrono`](https://crates.io/crates/chrono) crate to control how the time is displayed. Take a look [at the chrono strftime docs](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.7/chrono/format/strftime/index.html) to see what options are available.
::: tip
This module is disabled by default. To enable it, set `disabled` to `false` in your configuration file.
| `format` | see below | The [chrono format string](https://docs.rs/chrono/0.4.7/chrono/format/strftime/index.html) used to format the time. |
| `style` | `"bold yellow"` | The style for the module time |
| `utc_time_offset` | `"local"` | Sets the UTC offset to use. Range from -24 <x<24.Allowsfloatstoaccommodate30/45minutetimezoneoffsets.|
| `disabled` | `true` | Disables the `time` module. |
If `use_12hr` is `true`, then `format` defaults to `"%r"`. Otherwise, it defaults to `"%T"`. Manually setting `format` will override the `use_12hr` setting.
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[time]
disabled = false
format = "🕙[ %T ]"
utc_time_offset = "-5"
```
## Username
The `username` module shows active user's username. The module will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current user is root
- The current user isn't the same as the one that is logged in
- The user is currently connected as an SSH session
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `username` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[username]
disabled = true
```
## Custom commands
The `custom` modules show the output of some arbitrary commands.
These modules will be shown if any of the following conditions are met:
- The current directory contains a file whose name is in `files`
- The current directory contains a directory whose name is in `directories`
- The current directory contains a file whose extension is in `extensions`
- The `when` command returns 0
::: tip
Multiple custom modules can be defined by using a `.`.
:::
::: tip
The order in which custom modules are shown can be individually set by setting `custom.foo` in `prompt_order`. By default, the `custom` module will simply show all custom modules in the order they were defined.
