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.

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"
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:

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.

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.

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.

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]
command = "echo foo"  # shows output of command
files = ["foo"]       # can specify filters
when = """ test "$HOME" == "$PWD" """
prefix = " transcending "

command = "time /T"
files = ["*.pst"]
prefix = "transcending "
shell = ["pwsh.exe", "-NoProfile", "-Command", "-"]
