# Configuration
::: tip
🔥 Configuration is currently being worked on.
Many new configuration options will be available in coming releases.
:::
To get started configuring starship, create the following file: `~/.config/starship.toml`.
```shell
$ mkdir -p ~/.config && touch ~/.config/starship.toml
```
All configuration for starship is done in this [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) file:
```toml
# Don't print a new line at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false
# Replace the "❯" symbol in the prompt with "➜"
[character] # The name of the module we are configuring is "character"
symbol = "➜" # The "symbol" segment is being set to "➜"
# Disable the package module, hiding it from the prompt completely
[package]
disabled = true
```
### Terminology
**Module**: A component in the prompt giving information based on contextual information from your OS. For example, the "nodejs" module shows the version of NodeJS that is currently installed on your computer, if your current directory is a NodeJS project.
**Segment**: Smaller sub-components that compose a module. For example, the "symbol" segment in the "nodejs" module contains the character that is shown before the version number (⬢ by default).
Here is the representation of the node module. In the following example, "symbol" and "version"
are segments within it. Every module also has a prefix and suffix that are the default terminal color.
```
[prefix] [symbol] [version] [suffix]
"via " "⬢" "v10.4.1" ""
```
### Style Strings
Most modules in starship allow you to configure their display styles. This is done with an entry (usually called `style`) which is a string specifying the configuration. Here are some examples of style strings along with what they do. For details on the full syntax, consult the [advanced config guide](/advanced-config/).
- `"fg:green bg:blue"` sets green text on a blue background
- `"bg:blue fg:bright-green"` sets bright green text on a blue background
- `"bold fg:27"` sets bold text with [ANSI color](https://i.stack.imgur.com/KTSQa.png) 27
- `"underline bg:#bf5700"` sets underlined text on a burnt orange background
- `"bold italic fg:purple"` sets bold italic purple text
- `""` explicitly disables all styling
Note that what styling looks like will be controlled by your terminal emulator. For example, some terminal emulators will brighten the colors instead of bolding text, and some color themes use the same values for the normal and bright colors. Also, to get italic text, your terminal must support italics.
## Prompt
This is the list of prompt-wide configuration options.
### Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| `add_newline` | `true` | Add a new line before the start of the prompt. |
| `prompt_order` | [link](#default-prompt-order) | Configure the order in which the prompt module occurs. |
| `scan_timeout` | `30` | Timeout for starship to scan files (in milliseconds). |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
# Disable the newline at the start of the prompt
add_newline = false
# Overwrite a default_prompt_order and use custom prompt_order
prompt_order=["rust","line_break","package","line_break","character"]
# Wait 10 milliseconds for starship to check files under the current directory.
scan_timeout = 10
```
### Default Prompt Order
The default `prompt_order` is used to define the order in which modules are shown in the prompt, if empty or no `prompt_order` is provided. The default is as shown:
```toml
prompt_order = [
"username",
"hostname",
"kubernetes",
"directory",
"git_branch",
"git_state",
"git_status",
"hg_branch",
"package",
"dotnet",
"golang",
"java",
"nodejs",
"python",
"ruby",
"rust",
"nix_shell",
"conda",
"memory_usage",
"aws",
"env_var",
"cmd_duration",
"line_break",
"jobs",
"battery",
"time",
"character",
]
```
## AWS
The `aws` module shows the current AWS region and profile. This is based on
`AWS_REGION`, `AWS_DEFAULT_REGION`, and `AWS_PROFILE` env var with
`~/.aws/config` file.
### Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ----------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `symbol` | `"☁️ "` | The symbol used before displaying the current AWS profile. |
| `style` | `"bold yellow"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `AWS` module. |
| `displayed_items` | `all` | Choose which item to display. Possible values: [`all`, `profile`, `region`] |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[aws]
style = "bold blue"
symbol = "🅰 "
displayed_items = "region"
```
## Battery
The `battery` module shows how charged the device's battery is and its current charging status.
The module is only visible when the device's battery is below 10%.
### Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `full_symbol` | `"•"` | The symbol shown when the battery is full. |
| `charging_symbol` | `"⇡"` | The symbol shown when the battery is charging. |
| `discharging_symbol` | `"⇣"` | The symbol shown when the battery is discharging. |
| `display` | [link](#battery-display) | Display threshold and style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `battery` module. |
<details>
<summary>There are also options for some uncommon battery states.</summary>
| Variable | Description |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `unknown_symbol` | The symbol shown when the battery state is unknown. |
| `empty_symbol` | The symbol shown when the battery state is empty. |
Note: Battery indicator will be hidden if the status is `unknown` or `empty` unless you specify the option in the config.
</details>
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[battery]
full_symbol = "🔋"
charging_symbol = "⚡️"
discharging_symbol = "💀"
```
### Battery Display
The `display` configuration option is used to define when the battery indicator should be shown (threshold) and what it looks like (style).
If no `display` is provided. The default is as shown:
```toml
[[battery.display]]
threshold = 10
style = "bold red"
```
#### Options
The `display` option is an array of the following table.
| Variable | Description |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| `threshold` | The upper bound for the display option. |
| `style` | The style used if the display option is in use. |
#### Example
```toml
[[battery.display]] # "bold red" style when capacity is between 0% and 10%
threshold = 10
style = "bold red"
[[battery.display]] # "bold yellow" style when capacity is between 10% and 30%
threshold = 30
style = "bold yellow"
# when capacity is over 30%, the battery indicator will not be displayed
```
## Character
The `character` module shows a character (usually an arrow) beside where the text
is entered in your terminal.
The character will tell you whether the last command was successful or not. It
can do this in two ways: by changing color (red/green) or by changing its shape
(❯/✖). The latter will only be done if `use_symbol_for_status` is set to `true`.
### Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ----------------------- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `symbol` | `"❯"` | The symbol used before the text input in the prompt. |
| `error_symbol` | `"✖"` | The symbol used before text input if the previous command failed. |
| `use_symbol_for_status` | `false` | Indicate error status by changing the symbol. |
| `vicmd_symbol` | `"❮"` | The symbol used before the text input in the prompt if shell is in vim normal mode. |
| `style_success` | `"bold green"` | The style used if the last command was successful. |
| `style_failure` | `"bold red"` | The style used if the last command failed. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `character` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[character]
symbol = "➜"
error_symbol = "✗"
use_symbol_for_status = true
```
## Command Duration
The `cmd_duration` module shows how long the last command took to execute.
The module will be shown only if the command took longer than two seconds, or
the `min_time` config value, if it exists.
::: warning Do not hook the DEBUG trap in Bash
If you are running Starship in `bash`, do not hook the `DEBUG` trap after running
`eval $(starship init $0)`, or this module **will** break.
:::
Bash users who need preexec-like functionality can use
[rcaloras's bash_preexec framework](https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec).
Simply define the arrays `preexec_functions` and `precmd_functions` before
running `eval $(starship init $0)`, and then proceed as normal.
### Options
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ---------- | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `min_time` | `2` | Shortest duration to show time for. |
| `prefix` | `took` | Prefix to display immediately before the command duration. |
| `style` | `"bold yellow"` | The style for the module. |
| `disabled` | `false` | Disables the `cmd_duration` module. |
### Example
```toml
# ~/.config/starship.toml
[cmd_duration]
min_time = 4
