Thanks for the links. I had a quick glance at Starship and found that it
needs to be installed (in contrast to the prompt generator website
mentioned else-thread) and seems to have its own configuration language
(which needs to be learned).

From my home user's point of view this feels like a whole lot of effort
for something that at least for me is something that I configure once
and then do not touch it for years (likewise I do not do shell-hopping).

Could you please elaborate on your use cases and why you think the IMHO
considerable overhead is worthwhile for you?

Best regards

Axel
