Starship
The minimal, blazing-fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell!
Starship is an open-source, cross-shell prompt written in Rust that works across Bash, Fish, ZSH, PowerShell, and many other shells. It displays relevant context information in a clean, minimal format while remaining highly customizable. It can be installed via a simple shell script or package managers like Homebrew and Winget.
Starship installs a binary and injects an init script into the shell's config file, rendering a fast, context-aware prompt powered by Rust.
