Starship Configuration for Kali Linux Prompt

This Starship configuration file reproduces the default Kali Linux PS1 prompt with added features like git status, battery indicator, and time. Enhance your terminal experience with this rich and creative setup!

---

To use with Bash, add the following to your .bashrc:

# Starship
eval "$(starship init bash)"

# Function to set the prompt
function starship_prompt() {
    # Get the status code from the last command executed
    STATUS=$?

    # Get the number of jobs running
    NUM_JOBS=$(jobs -p | wc -l)

    # Set the prompt
    PS1="$(starship prompt --status=$STATUS --jobs=$NUM_JOBS)"
}

# Call the function to set the prompt
PROMPT_COMMAND=starship_prompt

---

How to use on windows?

just type starship config, it will open a starship.toml file in C:\Users$USERNAME.config\
put this config in there
also see how to use starship with powershell

---

Using on Alpine?

after installing bash for example instead of the default shell, you should ensure that .bashrc is sourced correctly, you can modify your .bash_profile or .profile to source .bashrc. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Create or Edit .bash_profile or .profile:

   Open the .bash_profile (or .profile) file in your home directory:

   nano ~/.bash_profile

   If .bash_profile does not exist, you can create it. Add the following lines to ensure .bashrc is sourced:

   # Check for a bashrc file and source it if it exists
   if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
       . ~/.bashrc
   fi

   exit and login again

NOTE:: This is not the final version and is going to be updated.
