Run the shell with starship support.

June 25, 2026 · View on GitHub

Monochrome style for starship prompt. Using single color without emoji to stay focused on command line.

Concept

  • No color juggling or emoji spam.
  • Focus on the input line and current directory.
  • The command prompt always starts at a fixed position.
  • Output is separated by a divider line.
  • Time matters.

Install

mkdir -p ~/.config
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anki-code/starship-prompt-mono/refs/heads/main/starship.toml

Notes

Using with xonsh

Use starship-prompt-mono with xonsh via xontrib-prompt-starship. To make an accent to the input take a look LolcatProcessor.

How to add env variable

Add $env_var to format:

# ~/.config/starship.toml
format = """$username$hostname$directory$fill[$all](grey)$time$line_break$env_var$character"""

[env_var.MYPROJECT]
variable = "MYPROJECT"
format = "[$env_value]($style)"
style = "#777777"
default = ""
