Below is a basic configuration you can paste into your starship.toml file to get started:

: If you don't want to write everything from scratch, Starship offers Presets like "No-Runtime-Versions" or "Tokyo Night" that you can copy-paste into your file. Configuration - Starship

The starship.toml file uses TOML syntax to define the order and style of information in your terminal prompt.

: Each prompt element (like directory , git_branch , or character ) has its own section for detailed styling.

: If you want to use special characters like $ , [ , or ] , you must escape them (e.g., \$ ) to prevent Starship from interpreting them as variables. Example Configuration

: Use the global format variable to define which modules appear and in what order.

# Inserts a blank line between shell prompts add_newline = true # Define the order of modules in the prompt format = """ $directory\ $git_branch\ $git_status\ $character """ [directory] style = "blue" read_only = " " [character] success_symbol = "[➜](bold green)" error_symbol = "[➜](bold red)" [git_branch] symbol = " " style = "purple" Use code with caution.
