Loading custom sections

Though Spaceship has multiple sections for various use-cases, sometimes you may need to install a custom one: for a specific tool or something that you use personally.

You can create your own section using sections API or use existing one from the Registry:

Browse Registry Create a custom section

How to install a section

It better to follow the installation instructions provided by the section author.

Most of the time, it's enough to just clone the repository locally (for example to ~/.config/spaceship) and source the section somewhere in Spaceship config or directly in ~/.zshrc.

How to add a section to the prompt

Spaceship CLI provides a command to add a section to the prompt:

spaceship add <section>

For example, for ember section you can use:

spaceship add ember

You need to add this line somewhere in ~/.zshrc.
