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
format = "$all"

# Replace the "❯" symbol in the prompt with "➜"
[character]                            # The name of the module we are configuring is "character"
success_symbol = "[➜](bold green)"     # The "success_symbol" segment is being set to "➜" with the color "bold green"

# 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.

Variable: Smaller sub-components that contains information provided by the module. For example, the "version" variable in the "nodejs" module contains the current version of NodeJS.

By convention, most modules have a prefix of default terminal color (e.g. via in "nodejs") and an empty space as a suffix.

Format Strings

Format strings are the format that a module prints all its variables with. Most modules have an entry called format that configures the display format of the module. You can use texts, variables and text groups in a format string.

Variable

A variable contains a $ symbol followed by the name of the variable. The name of a variable only contains letters, numbers and _.

For example:

$version is a format string with a variable named version.
$git_branch$git_commit is a format string with two variables named git_branch and git_commit.
$git_branch $git_commit has the two variables separated with a space.

Text Group

A text group is made up of two different parts.

The first part, which is enclosed in a [], is a format string. You can add texts, variables, or even nested text groups in it.

In the second part, which is enclosed in a (), is a style string. This can be used style the first part.

For example:

[on](red bold) will print a string on with bold text colored red.
[⬢ $version](bold green) will print a symbol ⬢ followed by the content of variable version, with bold text colored green.
[a [b](red) c](green) will print a b c with b red, and a and c green.

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.

Conditional Format Strings

A conditional format string wrapped in ( and ) will not render if all variables inside are empty.

For example:

(@$region) will show nothing if the variable region is None, otherwise @ followed by the value of region.
(some text) will always show nothing since there are no variables wrapped in the braces.
When $all is a shortcut for \[$a$b\] , ($all) will show nothing only if $a and $b are both None. This works the same as (\[$a$b\] ).

Escapable characters

The following symbols have special usage in a format string. If you want to print the following symbols, you have to escape them with a backslash (\).

$
\
[
]
(
)

Note that toml has its own escape syntax. It is recommended to use a literal string ('') in your config. If you want to use a basic string (""), pay attention to escape the backslash \.

For example, when you want to print a $ symbol on a new line, the following configs for format are equivalent:

# with basic string
format = "\n\\$"

# with multiline basic string
format = """

\\$"""

# with literal string
format = '''

\$'''

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.

You'll also need the .NET Core SDK 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.

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.

:::

Option	Default	Description
`command`		The command whose output should be printed.
`when`		A shell command used as a condition to show the module. The module will be shown if the command returns a `0` status code.
`shell`		See below
`description`	`"<custom module>"`	The description of the module that is shown when running `starship explain`.
`files`	`[]`	The files that will be searched in the working directory for a match.
`directories`	`[]`	The directories that will be searched in the working directory for a match.
`extensions`	`[]`	The extensions that will be searched in the working directory for a match.

Variables

Variable	Description
output	The output of shell command in `shell`
symbol	Mirrors the value of option `symbol`
style*	Mirrors the value of option `style`

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", "-"]
