First time user of ghostty terminal + starship prompt, tried it out on the new work lappie and liked it so much I've now got it on my personal. The bloatware on iTerm2 has gotten to the tipping point for me, and this is just a wonderful replacement. Thank you @mitchellh for making the tech world a better place!!

#ghostty #StarshipPrompt #zsh

Someone here posted about the #Starship prompt for the terminal once. I liked it a lot and decided to try. Then I found out #iTerm2 - a better terminal emulator. Then there were themes, color schemes, and finally, I discovered #Fish shell.

I now want to spend more time in my terminal than in UI.

Starship prompt: https://starship.rs
Fish shell: https://fishshell.com
iTerm2: https://iterm2.com

#terminalEmulator #FishShell #StarshipPrompt #terminal #console #homelab

Having played with #OhMyPosh https://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 https://starship.rs/ ?

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

@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  #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!
