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.

Oh never seen Alacritty before! Could you provide some info as to why you use that over windows terminal?

I use alacritty because it's blazingly fast, super responsive for me. I use it on Linux though, never touched it on Windows.

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.
