I just discovered Starship, the cross-shell prompt, which has support for docker context (starship.rs)

Starship is a really nice, fast, customisable shell prompt - of which there are many - but Starship supports a very wide range of things out-of-the-box.

Including docker context's. It detects Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml/yaml in the directory, and if you're not on the default context then it'll show the name of the context you're on in blue alongside a little whale icon. A tiny but very useful feature.

Better late than never. The one thing I like about is customizability, speed and ability to look same for bash, zsh or fish.

Yeah, it's really flexible and I like that I don't need to change my shell to use it. I've been using a powerline equivalent for bash for a while, so thought I'd hate the default of having the info on a separate line (which is easy to change) but I really like it - everything I need to see is always visible.
