starship – elegant cross-shell prompt at your fingertips

Last Updated on September 1, 2020

Summary

starship is a really useful utility for anyone who spends any time using a shell. It’s very configurable, beautifully designed, works with most shells that we’ve tested it on, and is powered by Rust.

The software is under active development. Recent features that have been added include: Timezone offset config option for the time module, Java module, conda module, dotnet module, Kubernetes module, and a memory usage module.

starship has attracted more than 3,400 GitHub stars. Fewer than Liquid Prompt. But GitHub stars shouldn’t be used to make comparisons between two different software projects. Instead, the number of stars for each project represent they have garnered lots of satisfied users.

Why don’t you ever post a link to the thing you’re reviewing, easily accessible, at the beginning of articles? I’ve never seen anyone else not do that.

That’s not true. The vast majority of reviews on the net have a project link at the END of their article.
