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.

To be honest, I'm not really sure whether it has that many more features, since I'm terribly lazy at reading documentation and learning keybinds :D The main selling feature for me is that it looks good, starts pretty quickly, and that I can use Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V to copy and paste :D But it looks like it does have a pretty short set of a few features, of which I really don't understand much :D

But what I'm still looking for is something like tmux on Windows, so far every solution I found when I spend a few minutes looking was too convoluted to setup or use, so I gave up. Thankfully, I usually only need it when i SSH somewhere, and that's always a linux server.
