Cannot use starship for zsh
Bug Report
Current Behavior
I installed starship with curl as mentioned in the website. I modified my ~/.zshrc file (eval "$(starship init zsh"), but when I start a new session I get the default kali promt. Although, when i run eval "$(starship init zsh" from my command line, it works. How can I fix it
Expected Behavior
It should work properly with the eval statement from the .zshrc file.
Additional context/Screenshots
Environment
- Starship version: starship 1.9.1
- Shell type: zsh
- Shell version: zsh 5.8 (x86_64-debian-linux-gnu)

- Operating system: Kali Linux 2022 stable build

Starship Configuration
It is the default configuration (I have not created ~/.config/starship.toml
You zshrc seems to enable a different prompt after initializing starship, overriding it. Please try removing those segments from your zshrc.
The statement eval "$(starship init zsh)" should be added at the end of .zshrc
@davidkna i was using oh-my-posh but as you can see these statemrnts are commented out
The statement
eval "$(starship init zsh)"should be added at the end of .zshrc
With all the other prompt customizers i used i always put it at the top. Ill try tho ty
@CopernicusPY There's still configure_prompt and a few more locations that set PROMPT around.

I think these are for the colorscheme. again oh-my-posh worked great with them

It does overwrite any PROMPT variable that starship might have set. OMP likely just sets PROMPT on every prompt draw.
not sure if this is a typo in your config file or just the GitHub issue, but you have eval "$(starship init zsh" instead of eval "$(starship init zsh)"
I am going to close this issue as the problem is not with starship but with your shell setup. If you remove the call to configure_prompt and things that set PROMPT around this should fix the problem.
