Things that are too small to keep in a separate repo, but too important not to version them. (by rollcat)
Yes! This is why I pair the two up in https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu.
These context clues are especially important for newcomers to the command line. A CLI newbie who sticks with it might eventually progress to the point where they decide to ditch Starship, or to ditch fish, or to ditch both, but until they get to that point, the solid defaults and OOTB features of these two have a lot going for them.
Since this is now a share your prompt thread, here's mine:
https://github.com/rollcat/etc/tree/master/cmd/prompter
It's quite portable (didn't test on Windows though); ~170 lines of Go; no dependencies outside of stdlib; calls no external commands; supports SSH, git, Docker, nix, and virtualenv; extremely simple to hack on.
If you use home-manager, installing starship is as simple as adding `programs.starship.enable = true;`.

Incidentally, starship also gives a visual indication of whether you are in the nix shell or not, which is pretty handy when using direnv:

It can. With a little help. I use this:
