What's here so far

A short, honest list — Astra is early, so this is what actually works today, not a roadmap.

Rust core

Compiled and memory-safe. The shell is written from the ground up rather than layered on top of bash or zsh.

Powerlevel10k-inspired prompt

A segmented, information-dense prompt, configured without a separate plugin manager.

Git-aware

Branch name and repo status show up in the prompt automatically as you move around a working tree.

Command history

Kept across sessions, with a configurable size limit.

Tab completion

Completes paths and commands the way you'd expect from any modern shell.

Theme support

Five prompt themes shipped, more on the way — see the themes page to try them.

Modular architecture

Parsing, execution, prompt rendering, and theming each live in their own file — see architecture.

Built-ins

cd, pwd, clear, exit — plus normal macOS commands, since Astra runs anything your shell already runs.
