About:
Starship is a minimal, fast, and highly customizable command-line prompt. It works across multiple shells including Bash, Zsh, Fish, and PowerShell. It provides intelligent context-aware information like Git status, runtime versions, and exit codes while maintaining high performance.
Key Features:
  • Universal cross-shell support
  • Extremely fast performance
  • Highly customizable with modules
  • Async prompt rendering
  • Automatic feature detection
Use Cases:
  • Developers needing consistent prompt across different shells and machines
  • DevOps engineers requiring quick visibility into environment status and Git repositories
  • Users wanting a modern, informative terminal prompt without performance overhead
Alternatives:
  • powerlevel10k – Zsh-specific, offers instant prompt and rich UI but limited to Zsh
  • oh-my-zsh – Framework with themes and plugins, heavier than Starship's focused approach
  • pure – Minimal Zsh prompt, focused on simplicity but lacks cross-shell support
