Amazing overview of starship! I had been using it for a few months but always wanted to dig a bit deeper into it. Thanks for the inspiration!

I can never stay still and watch your videos, half way trough it I was watching your other video on devbox!! Thank you for fantastic content.

This was one of the first videos where before the video even ended, I'd downloaded and started using the recommended tool. Instant value and super interesting. Thanks for the video!

I've been working on refactoring most of my manifests while also doing a big cluster migration, it starts to get confusing after a bit 😅 . This was helpful, thanks!

[pattheth]

you are a legend-Thank you. I was just thinking I need to get a better bash prompt so absolutely perfect timing :)

Hi Victor! You managed to convince me to give Starship a chance and I lke it a lot. However now I'm wondering what to do with oh-my-zsh as I not only use it for prompt customization, actually less for that, more for plugin management. How do you manage your zsh plugins?

We need a video where you set up a new macbook from scratch.

a true man never shaves of his beard - grow it back ! 😎

I use starship on fish shell. Starship is nice but fish sucks for me because it doesn't comply to POSIX standards. I really don't want to use oh-my-bash because it's mostly just bloatware at this point. I wish bash would step up their game. I am not a Zsh fan too.

[javisartdesign]

thanks for share it? what about your opinion about environment such as devpod, devbox, gitpod, devcontainer, etc...?

I used p10k but switched to oh my posh when p10k got discontinued, if starship would be able to enable modules only when i type commands, like show the terraform version when i type terraform or show current cluster only when i type kubectl i wouls try it out, both p10k and oh my posh are able to do this

[Meluhan]

I like starship as its simple to use. I use with bracket presets and own customisation.
It works well in Mac but terribly slow with Wsl2 due to git

[DevOpsToolkit]

Do you customize your prompt? If you do, what do you use?

[emonymph]

I use powershell (edit: with a black background), are you proud of me? <3

[dankobgd]

zsh with powerlevel10k is faster and better (without oh my zsh).
Maybe if he spent more time on the code instead of telling me that he is from ukraine, starship would be good but it is not.

Nice and refreshing video. One question. If I have a bastion host (a host that I use to connect to other servers), I suppose I just install starship on that host. Then, if I ssh from that terminal to another server, starship continues to work normally, correct? I mean, I don't need to install starship on all other servers (sorry if it's a silly question)
