## What it is
Starship is a minimal, blazing-fast, and highly customizable shell prompt written in Rust that works across bash, zsh, fish, PowerShell, and other shells. It shows contextual information like git status, language versions, and command duration with minimal latency.

## Use cases
- customize my shell prompt
- show git branch and status in terminal prompt
- fast cross-shell prompt for bash zsh and fish
- replace oh-my-zsh theme with something faster
- display current language version in prompt
- minimal terminal prompt with icons
- prompt that works on windows powershell and linux

## When to choose
- you want one consistent prompt across multiple shells and operating systems
- you need a fast, Rust-based prompt that won't slow your terminal down
- you want fine-grained customization of every prompt segment
- you're tired of slow oh-my-zsh prompt frameworks

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple static prompt and don't want extra configuration
- your terminal can't install a Nerd Font for icon support
- you rely on shell-specific prompt features Starship doesn't support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
