# Nushell 0.6.0

Nushell, or Nu for short, is a new shell that takes a modern, structured approach to your commandline. It works seamlessly with the data from your filesystem, operating system, and a growing number of file formats to make it easy to build powerful commandline pipelines.

We're happy to announce the 0.6.0 release of Nu. This release has a bunch of new features, bugfixes, and general improvements.

# Where to get it

Nu 0.6.0 is available as [pre-built binaries](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/releases/tag/0.6.0) or from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/nu). If you have Rust installed you can install it using `cargo install nu` (or if you want all the features `cargo install nu --all-features`).

# Starship support (Southclaws, sophiajt)



_Welcome to the starship!_

Having a configurable prompt has been a regularly requested feature, dating back to our first release of Nu. With 0.6.0, we're excited to show off the ability to integrate with [starship](https://starship.rs/). Starship is a powerful prompt being built in Rust, and it includes tons of fun features.

To use the Starship support, enable the starship feature (the binary releases will have this on by default). After this, you'll want to [configure starship](https://starship.rs/config/) to meet your needs.

Here's the config I use in the screenshot above:

```
❯ cat ~/.config/starship.toml
add_newline = false

[git_branch]
symbol = "📙 "

[git_status]
disabled = true
```

To enable Starship support, make sure to enable the `starship` feature, or to use the all-features build:

```
> cargo install nu --features starship-prompt
```

or

```
> cargo install nu --all-features
```

# Stable Rust (est31)
Title: Nushell 0.6.0: Starship Support
Summary
Nushell 0.6.0 introduces support for Starship, a configurable and powerful prompt being built in Rust. This feature has been highly requested since the first release of Nu. Starship integration allows users to customize their prompt with a variety of features. To enable Starship support, users need to enable the `starship` feature during installation or use the all-features build. After installation, Starship can be configured to meet individual needs and preferences. The release includes an example configuration used in a provided screenshot, demonstrating how to customize the prompt with features like displaying the Git branch and disabling Git status. This integration enhances the user experience by providing a more personalized and informative command-line interface, leveraging the capabilities of both Nushell and Starship to create a powerful and flexible environment.
