Starship is a minimal, blazing‑fast, and infinitely customizable prompt written in Rust. It works across many shells and operating systems, providing a consistent, feature‑rich command‑line experience.
Use cases
- Add a fast, customizable prompt to my Bash or Zsh shell
- Show git branch and status information directly in the terminal prompt
- Display system information like CPU load or battery level in the prompt
- Create a consistent prompt style across different shells and platforms
- Replace the default shell prompt with a highly configurable one
When to choose
- You need a high‑performance prompt that works in many shells (bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, etc.)
- You want extensive customization of prompt segments and appearance
- You prefer a Rust‑based tool with strong safety and speed guarantees
- You need a prompt that can be easily installed via package managers or a single script
When to avoid
- Your terminal does not support Nerd Fonts, which are required for many icons
- You prefer a graphical or IDE‑integrated prompt solution
- You need a prompt that is tightly integrated with a specific shell's native features beyond what Starship supports
