Rainbow powerline prompt themed with the Delightful color palette. Based on the Gruvbox Rainbow preset, re-themed with Delightful's warm, neo-brutalist colors.
- Starship installed
- A Nerd Font for powerline glyphs and language icons (e.g.

- Copy the config into place:
cp starship.toml ~/.config/starship.toml - Add Starship init to your shell (e.g.
