Starship configuration

henrydenhengst · July 18, 2022, 2:54pm

I think I must be doing something with programs.starship.settings to get starship a configuration like .config/starship.toml to work, but I don’t know?!

What if I would like to get this configuration to work?

Searching github for programs.starship.settings (with language:nix) might help you find examples.

Please clarify whether you’re using home-manager or nixos for this. Both have options to configure starship, though their programs.starship.settings options function identically, I think.

In case it’s useful, here’s an example from my home-manager config:

github.com

tejing1/nixos-config/blob/fd443fc8706dcd5e700a05421b2eb0ad39517c7d/homeConfigurations/tejing/shell.nix#L161-L222

    
      
          programs.starship.enable = true;
          programs.starship.settings = {
            add_newline = false;
            format = "$shlvl$shell$username$hostname$nix_shell$git_branch$git_commit$git_state$git_status$directory$jobs$cmd_duration$character";
            shlvl = {
              disabled = false;
              symbol = "ﰬ";
              style = "bright-red bold";
            };
            shell = {
              disabled = false;
              format = "$indicator";
              fish_indicator = "";
              bash_indicator = "[BASH](bright-white) ";
              zsh_indicator = "[ZSH](bright-white) ";
            };
            username = {
              style_user = "bright-white bold";
              style_root = "bright-red bold";
            };

I prefer in configuration.nix (for all users)

Yours is pretty too!

I am relatively experienced with linux but very much a noob to NixOS.
On my journey I have come across similar queries thus I offer this example:
<Nix file to generate complete, mostly default, starship.toml, including equivalent of <format = “$all”>.>
