Took just a wee bit too long just to get to this point, if you're asking me, but I'm mostly happy with the result so far. Decided to go all in on Rust: Wezterm, Zellij, Fish, and Starship.

#Rust #RustLang #WezTerm #Zellij #Fish #FishShell #Starship #StarshipPrompt #Terminal #TerminalEmulator

Screenshot showing my current Rust-based terminal setup (stack?) consisting of Wezterm, Zellij, Fish, and Starship.  I wrote a custom Fish greeting that is actually useful: it shows my uptime, and certain PIDs I care about, as of when said instance of Fish was spawned.

I fell into another hole. You see, there is no #OhMyPosh in #VoidLinux, only #StarshipPrompt. So I thought about it… And now I have styled my prompt in #Nushell itself, no other stuff necessary.

It doesn’t do anything fancy, just picks colors based on hostname and also shows status of a git directory. So 100% the same as my Oh My Posh config.

Having played with #OhMyPosh ohmyposh.dev/ under bash and zsh with mostly default settings, I kind of like the idea of a souped up #TerminalPrompt

But it can be a bit slow when the filesystem is under load.

Is #StarshipPrompt any better starship.rs/ ?

Or #PurePrompt github.com/sindresorhus/pure seems nice but minimal...

Setting up a new #webdev machine, I stumbled upon #StarshipPrompt, and I am well impressed how it creates a simple cross-shell approach to managing one's terminal prompt starship.rs/

Switched to Fish Shell from ZSH, and combined with Starship Prompt, I'm finally at zero config to get all the features I need. Everything just works and looks nice. Also Fish scripting is really nice. #FishShell #StarshipPrompt

@swflint Thanks. #StarshipPrompt doesn't seem to notice this shell change though, while it does for 'nix-shell -p git-extras --run fish'. Shouldn't be a :fish_shell: #fishShell issue though.

UPDATE: nix-shell sets the IN_NIX_SHELL=[im]pure environment variable (and a whole bunch of others) while nix shell only touches the PATH. Hard to detect for any program that this change happened!

@jchannon@hachyderm.io looks really nice by default and has some stuff built in. This is my prompt with almost no customisation (I only installed and use the Mono in .

It's been a couple of months since I posted about #FOSSSupport but back at it today with #StarshipPrompt. This beautiful shell prompt is such a pleasure to use. And for being so customizable it's funny how any Starship user can instantly recognize its use in another developer's shell.

I've been using #StarshipPrompt
for the past week or so and it's really nice. Helpful and super snappy
