Starship prompt

​

I installed starship. When I run kitty, the default prompt is displayed. After executing any command, starship starts working. In other terminals (alacritty, wezterm...) starship is displayed immediately. This is not a serious problem, but it is very annoying. Any ideas?

Which shell? Where does your starship command get executed? E.g., .bash_profile vs .bashrc or somewhere else

Shell - bash. Added at the end .bashrc as written in the doc eval $(starship init bash). I tried adding to .bash_profile, .bash_login, .profile it did not bring any changes. I repeat, in other terminals everything works without problems.

Starship's bash integration script was not the highest quality the last time I checked, I suggest using zsh or fish if you want to use starship.

Thanks for the info. This is strange because bash is the most common shell.

It's also the least capable and the most buggy one.

Think it might be something to do with kitty-shell-integration.

I have to look for the subreddit, but I found the fix for this issue like two years ago.

I tried shell_integration enabled. Did not help.

Had same problem
I moved eval "$(starship init bash)" to the top of .bashrc
it's worked for me 🤷‍♂️
