Temporarily hide or disable Starship prompt

[mloskot]

Hi,
Is there any way to temporarily disable the Starship prompt and restore the original shell's native prompt?

Perhaps there is an environment variable like STARSHIP_DISABLE=true that could be exported to bring back the original prompt?

I think this would be useful when one needs to take a screenshot and don't want to 'leak' Azure subscription details. Kubernetes context details, or just wants to make it cleaner getting rid of the fancy prompt data not relevant for the purpose for which screenshot is being taken.

@mloskot You can use starship toggle <module> to disable the specific module on the fly, like starship toggle kubernetes, starship toggle azure, ...

But if you need to disable whole starship, you can have the condition like this

[ "$STARSHIP_DISABLE" = "true" ] || <Your starship init command>

in your .bashrc or config.fish whatever files.

And open the new shell process with no starship by STARSHIP_DISABLE=true bash 😀

The starship toggle is what does the on-demand trick for me. Thank you!
