Your shell prompt, ON STEROIDS // Starship

Starship has been gaining A LOT of traction in the past year and for a good reason; it's light, fast, extremely easy to configure and change. It's already part of my current setup and I think it's time others learn about it!

I love starship, it's so good. I've been using it on NixOS for over a year now

Your dotfiles page doesn't seem to work over HTTPS

Hi Omer, been working through your back catalogue - great content, thanks for taking the time to share with the community. Wanting to make the switch from omz/ pl10k to starship. How do you handle keeping your zsh plugins up to date (auto suggestions etc) without using a framework? Also how did you transition to starship? Just start a new .zshrc without the omz bits?

[lmnts]

For me I find that starship and the base ZSH is good, not oh-my-zsh, but the base of ZSH itself. Then you just add autosuggestions, syntax highlighting and z. That's about it and its good2go. Starship for windows, zsh for wsl or linux.

And remember debloating is king, go through your plugins and think, do I really need this or can I remove it? Go for a setup that works but is also minimal and is easily replicated to other systems.

Mine maybe controversial but I moved from starship to p10k because of the interactive config wizard so that I spend less time on configuring it. I already have lots of other tools to configure so I don't want another tbh. And I never faced any issue with it so far (been almost 10 months)

Idk if i should switch to this from my pretty minimal and zsh setup i mean it have like 8 plugins web search auto complete and syntax highlighting being the main ones i use oh my posh for ui changes i guess in future but rn im not in mood of spending an weekend on this task

[hassewilson]

Thank you! What browser are you using ?

[lornelorne]

Which nerd font are you using? Also the dotfiles link in the video description doesn't work.

[Redyf]

Great video, can you share your neovim statusline config?

[brunolevy]

What is your terminal font? Jetbrains?

[aimestereo]

Thanks, use starship for half a year, for me: it's the best prompt I can get with 0 configurations, also it sometime glitches when moving in and out of input modes (vim mode).
P.S. I don't see links to your config!

Switched from oh-my-zsh to starship this year too. Definitely a very fast prompt

[Yoplat]

pk10 instant prompt and transient prompt are so much better than any alternatives that I can’t go back

[Tony_Sol]

what do you think about spaceship prompt? is it better than starship?

(btw, i’m on default zsh with a couple of plugins, there is enough bundled customization for me)

[omeravraham]

is there a way to add aliases of bash functions or long commnads like in a .bashrc / .zshrc ?

[tswdev]

How are you connecting your ultra wide to mac and still have proper resolution and good refresh rate?

[shimongb]

I was using p10k for 2 years and it got slow and buggy when some plugins conflicted etc. found starship by accident few month ago and it is just on another level on all aspects

[karesztrk]

Thank god. Starship was preinstalled on my Distro

[marlonsbardelatti]

I downloaded in linux, add the end of the line in my .zshrc and sourced it but it didnt work, any ideas why? I didnt find anything that could help me
