Starship Shell

Starship is a minimal, blazing fast, and infinitely customizable prompt for any shell. Starship brings the best-in-class speed and safety of Rust, to make your prompt as quick and reliable as possible, while giving you the tools and options to fully customize it to your liking.

Install a Nerdfont

To experience Starship in its full glory, you first need to install a Nerdfont for your terminal. For example, download the CaskaydiaMono Nerd Font, which is like Cascadia Code but without any ligatures:

Download the zip package:

user:~$ cd /tmp && wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.1.1/CascadiaMono.zip

Create a new directory:
```
user:/tmp$ mkdir cascadia-mono
```

Unzip the package into the cascadia-mono directory:

user:/tmp$ unzip CascadiaMono.zip -d cascadia-mono

Move the cascadia-mono directory to the right location:

user:/tmp$ mv cascadia-mono ~/.local/share/fonts

Run fc-cache to update the font cache:
```
user:/tmp$ fc-cache -v
```
Launch your terminal application and set the CaskaydiaMono Nerd Font as your default terminal font.

Install Starship Shell

Now that you have set a Nerdfont as your default terminal font, installing Starship Shell is a piece of cake. All you need to do is run the following command:

user:/tmp$ curl -sS https://starship.rs/install.sh | sh

To activate it you should add the following line in your .bashrc file:

eval "$(starship init bash)"

However, the dotfiles in this repository automate this step for you.

Configure Starhsip Shell

To configure Starship Shell to your liking you need to create a starship.toml file inside the .config directory:

user:/tmp$ mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml

Then, you can follow the Starship Shell docs to configure your prompt. This repository offers a starship.toml file that can serve as a starting point.
