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 configuring 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" ""
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.

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 |
---|---|---|

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.

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
.
