i looked for this video like crazy (seriously for over a month). i kept trying and it magically just showed up at the top of the search results. was so helpful
@Nate Higgers Oh, you're talking about binary size. Well, if you build with release flags is 3.1 MB (you could also go no std and disable more things but who cares). Honestly, I don't think is too important, I thought you were talking about features or something like that.
@Nate Higgers Memory consumption, cpu usage, thread usage, I can agree with that. However, I don't think disk space of a binary matters (and it doesn't scale linearly with the SLOC, of course). Anyways, if it is important for you, go with it. For me, memory safety is more interesting (and development environment, which in Rust - cargo - is particularly good).
After hippity-hopping through Mint, Manjaro, Feren, Deepin, Ubuntu, Solus and others, I finally settled on Garuda KDE Dr460nized! Not only that it looks stunning, but it has exceptional hardware support and rock solid stability. Every other distro I tried had problems either with the drivers, the update manager or some KDE components that broke randomly. Kudos to Garuda team!
I’ve got a prompt similar to the two line prompt with the arrows. I saw this German Jewish guy using it in one of his videos so I just changed my PS1 in .bashrc to do the same thing not because of aesthetic appeal but because it has important uses: 1) the preamble is just simply username and current directory in different colors. Nothing fancy. I like to keep this stuff on a separate line because it can take up a lot of room and I like to give the command I’m writing as much space as I can. 2) I actually start with a new line so that there’s a blank line between each entered command. The reason for this is that when I use tmux’s scroll back feature with vim keybindings I can reliable press ‘{‘ ‘}’ to quickly move the cursor across entire commands. 3) Something I might add later to the first line is a timestamp of when the command was invoked (sometimes I need to remember what I did, knowing approximately how long ago it happened).
Do you know that in fish you do not have to type in "cd" to change directories? You can just type the relative path and fish will assume you want to CD there
I'm aware DT is all about linux, but wanted to add that Starship is also compatible with both CMD & Powershell; which is what I use on my Windows platforms.
Thank you for this video. Even if I don't bounce between different shells much, it's nice to have a different config file just for the prompt that I can hack on without worrying if I'm gonna make a noob mistake and bork my bash or zsh config file lol.
After watching dozens of your videos, I have a suggestion that will save you a lot of time………..just “set” the terminal font size to be a larger much more readable size before you start recording :). The amount of times I have seen you press ctrl+ in every video is massive haha.
Seems like my system is failing to display any of the glyphs (like the snake one at 2.55). Unless I install an emoji font like noto-fonts-emoji which displays a full on emoji instead. Have tried various nerd fonts, which while they provide other icons, seem to be missing that one. Not sure what provides it.
hello DT, about keybindings, can you please do a video about the choices and philosophy that you follow to get good keybindings across multiple WMs and applications? thank you
Hey , Can any one tell what are the colorful shapes and bars he's using on top of the prompt.. (like Darthvader in the beginning, then some alien shapes when swiitched to bash)... it's just bugging me..
In my experience my colleagues who use a prompt like this are the same guys who always push work to the wrong (master) branch. You'd think that having the git branch in the prompt should stop that but apparently not.
it is extremely similar to the pure prompt(thee one im using), however, pure is a zsh only prompt. someone has however made ports for both bash and fish.
I am aboard now, space time ceased to scare me while boarding this excelent star vehicle, one thing that bothers me is DT seems to not be using vi editing mode that is set in .inputrc , how come ?
when I install this on bash I am not getting the auto recommendation of commands means when i type any command we should get auto recommendation something like that.. how we can get it.
het dt can you explain whats the diference betwen a promp ,shell and a terminal emulator as a noob in linux i still dont the the diference ty in advance
Is there anyone who managed to remove that [!?] after branch (master/main etc). I have that after my prompt and can't really figure out a way to remove that
I wasn't aware that you can have different shell prompts for shells, I might switch back to bash from fish and just get a custom prompt to be comfortable again.
Follow up question. I chose to use the Fedora package version of Starship so that I don't have to remember to manually update the package later. Well dang! The Fedora package is a quite stale version 0.42, several versions behind the current Starship version 0.50. Can you elaborate on how apps like Starship are updated in repositories? And, what would happen if I used the CURL command now to update my current install? I suppose I'd uninstall the packaged 0.42 version and start over with the CURL method of installation. I want to become more informed about the pros and cons are of using CURL vs the dnf package manager. I don't understand how to manage different installation methods. Thanks! I'm learning a lot from your channel.
Hey, DT. I remember a while back, you showed some command line utility which was similar to neofetc` except, it showed information of the directory. What was the name of that software? I tried finding that video, but I just can't recall.
Not sure if it out of the world, i mean powerlevel9k and 10k could do a lot more than that. Except the multi shell compatibility though which is kinda nice, but why?
I realize this is 2 years old, but what happened at 7:28 was that because the format wasn't at the top of the file, you were actually setting the format for the [character] section, which is why it appeared after the already existing prompt, rather than replacing it, and why the directory appeared before the arrow, rather than between them as specified in the format
"i have some GNUS for you"
haha i was just about to comment that
I thought I misheard it but OK, good news I'm not alone :D
So glad other people heard it too!
Yeah I came to the comment section for this lol
GNUS -- nothing's gonna stop us now. BNUS -- he doesn't finish the song. 💔
We Built This Shell Prompt on Rock & Roll.
Ollllllllllllll
MY DISTRO CRASHED MY BASH TOP
TRYNA UPDATE MY TERMINAL
Bumper to bumper code
That singing at the end was good. The prompt is also pretty nice :).
i looked for this video like crazy (seriously for over a month). i kept trying and it magically just showed up at the top of the search results. was so helpful
Yeah i love this prompt, been using it for about 3 months or so now. Love to see this prompt getting some love.
@Nate Higgers What do you mean?
@Nate Higgers Oh, you're talking about binary size. Well, if you build with release flags is 3.1 MB (you could also go no std and disable more things but who cares). Honestly, I don't think is too important, I thought you were talking about features or something like that.

Been using Starship for a while now and been pretty happy with it. Nice to see you covering it
Thanks DT for another quality software that will truly add to our shell environments. Keep doing these type of walkthroughs!!
I've been using starship for over a year. Glad to see you covering it

Synth shell fits very well on my fedora setup especially the bash prompts.

Do you know that in fish you do not have to type in "cd" to change directories? You can just type the relative path and fish will assume you want to CD there
starship also works for posh, xonsh and other shells as well. i have been using it for 4 months now.
DT: "Don't download software from random websites"
Also DT: "Download this software from their website..."
how do you get the darthvader and jangofeet when you start up your terminal?
Check my GitLab (in show notes) for shell-color-scripts.
"Jangofeet" is my new favorite thing
I'm aware DT is all about linux, but wanted to add that Starship is also compatible with both CMD & Powershell; which is what I use on my Windows platforms.
Yeah, I have been using it on my Windows PC with Powershell for about a year or so. It is great.
Starship is the name of a sex toy store here in Atlanta.
If Fred still works there tell him I said hi.
I installed this on my Ubuntu ThinkPad. Keep the tutorials coming.
been using starship for a few months, its really held up well
How do you get the "Jango Fett", all the colorful icons to appear when you open your terminal?
I’m wondering the same thing
Your singing is legendry....
How does *starship* compare to *oh-my-zsh + antigen + p10k*? Is starship supposed to be a complete replacement of oh-my-zsh + antigen + p10k?
Thank you for this video. Even if I don't bounce between different shells much, it's nice to have a different config file just for the prompt that I can hack on without worrying if I'm gonna make a noob mistake and bork my bash or zsh config file lol.
Certainly reminding of the band Starship is a killer feature
it's also in the AUR
This video is worth watching at least to hear DT singing :)
After watching dozens of your videos, I have a suggestion that will save you a lot of time………..just “set” the terminal font size to be a larger much more readable size before you start recording :). The amount of times I have seen you press ctrl+ in every video is massive haha.
i use powerlevel 10k but this also looks promising. One thing is for sure, i wouldnt ever want to go back to the default prompt.
What utility is generating those random images at the top when you open your shell?
Shell color scripts. I think it's on the aur
What are those ascii images that load at the start of the terminal , i've been searching for it. Anyone ? DT ?
Seems like my system is failing to display any of the glyphs (like the snake one at 2.55). Unless I install an emoji font like noto-fonts-emoji which displays a full on emoji instead. Have tried various nerd fonts, which while they provide other icons, seem to be missing that one. Not sure what provides it.
This one looks like fun. Thx DT!
do you have any automation scripts to customize things after fresh installation?
hello DT, about keybindings, can you please do a video about the choices and philosophy that you follow to get good keybindings across multiple WMs and applications?
thank you
Noted!
@@DistroTube thank you :)
4:00 Stop you right there. This is a CLI, sir. Gradient colours are illegal.
how do you have that autocompletion thing at 1:32 ? like it shows text of what the option is
Fish. It's a lovely shell that has some great builtin features like these auto-suggestions.
@@DistroTube thanks. just installed it. its great
Hey , Can any one tell what are the colorful shapes and bars he's using on top of the prompt.. (like Darthvader in the beginning, then some alien shapes when swiitched to bash)... it's just bugging me..
In my experience my colleagues who use a prompt like this are the same guys who always push work to the wrong (master) branch. You'd think that having the git branch in the prompt should stop that but apparently not.
Awesome as always DT, thanks!
it is extremely similar to the pure prompt(thee one im using), however, pure is a zsh only prompt.
someone has however made ports for both bash and fish.
Why is there a candle the Arch mug?
Anyone know what program he runs when he starts a terminal?
Can anyone say how the colourful things that are popping up every time whenever bash is opened!? How was that rendered?
I am aboard now, space time ceased to scare me while boarding this excelent star vehicle, one thing that bothers me is DT seems to not be using vi editing mode that is set in .inputrc , how come ?
when I install this on bash I am not getting the auto recommendation of commands means when i type any command we should get auto recommendation something like that.. how we can get it.
How do you make this autocompletion suggestion based on your historic?
het dt can you explain whats the diference betwen a promp ,shell and a terminal emulator as a noob in linux i still dont the the diference ty in advance
This prompt looks awesome. Cant wait to get into playing around with it
bash completion stopped working for me how do i fix it?
Can you show a video tutorial of how to add those colour bars/ darth vader and other emoji at the top of the terminal?
I found starship a month or so ago and have really loved it since
Switched to this prompt while watching this video 😂loving it 😩🔥
Starship is also available for powershell which is like the best thing microsoft ever made for linux.
Except WSL, Windows Terminal and VSCode.
Is there anyone who managed to remove that [!?] after branch (master/main etc). I have that after my prompt and can't really figure out a way to remove that
I use the same method as you do to manage dotfiles but starship is not showing the git branch info
any idea why?
what bar is that polybar?
Can someone tell me what is the name of the program that displays those figures on top of his terminal?
"My home directory is a git repository"
Is that how Linux users do backups? just make every folder a git repository?
I guess it’s helpful for “Distro hopping”.
11:36 what is the name of this program that starts with zsh
It is colorscript random used by him
Install by yay -S shell-color-scripts
& at the end of the .zshrc
colorscript random
How to I get back to Bash from Starship?
What are the random icons or logos that appear? Is that part of starship or fish shell?
How did you get the Darth Vader heads in there? What's that called?
My console isn't be able to show your color-scripts properly anymore, somehow they became very distorted images. What dependencies does it have?
How to add rainbow colors to linux command outout with that starship without lolcat ?
Wasn't there already a prompt for zsh with this same name ? Or I have been using this without knowing ?
I wasn't aware that you can have different shell prompts for shells, I might switch back to bash from fish and just get a custom prompt to be comfortable again.
the starship prompt is also available for bash!
11:38 link to that background?
I don't see those cool icons though. Like snake you have there. Using urxvt. What extra step should I do?
Love that outro.
Agree. Starship is nice.
your music taste! 🔥🔥🔥 haha
Icons not showing even after installing nerd fonts please help
If all the Jefferson Airplane songs you could've said, you said that one? Like, not white rabbit or something?
is this compatible with alacritty? or a replacement?
Nice one. I am using it for about a year now. It is really nice and lightweight.
Why is it important to change the prompt?
Can't post on r/unixporn unless you have a pimped prompt. ;)
For me - yes. It must show what is needed and hide what is not needed. :)
Hi, someone can please tell me what is the font to the emojis are DT using in the video
The video was almost over when the humor in the title dawned on me.
is that a setting you have activated in starship that autocompletes as you write?
I'm using liquidprompt and it's pretty nice too
what are your thoughts on p10k
Prompt seems nice and fast the little I've been playing with it. Although is quite a beast, executable is 7,5 megs o_o
Can you use background color (not just foreground) for the prompt in starship?
Follow up question. I chose to use the Fedora package version of Starship so that I don't have to remember to manually update the package later. Well dang!

Doesn't work for me on WSL, sadly
Neither the binary nor the cargo source build
How you added those images when you open the terminal?
Which linux can i install on a atom cpu with i686 architecture, 2 cores 1.3ghz max with 2gb ram? Please help
I realize this is 2 years old, but what happened at 7:28 was that because the format wasn't at the top of the file, you were actually setting the format for the [character] section, which is why it appeared after the already existing prompt, rather than replacing it, and why the directory appeared before the arrow, rather than between them as specified in the format
Like for the singing at the end
That was neat. Thanks for posting
One of the problems i have with starship is if you hold ctrl+c it gets really laggy, at least on windows.
thnx, did not know about this prompt
What is the purpose of this program?
Style points.. ;)
Hey guys, how to make this bottom line with information appear in Vim?
Couldn't get it to work on raspbian:/
Isn't that lens blur nice?
As for your singing the judges reactions are .. >< >< >< >
What os are u using
