The command "starship init ${select}" is used to initialize the configuration for the Starship prompt, with the variable ${select} representing a specific shell for which the configuration is being set up.
Starship is a customizable prompt for shells like Bash, Zsh, and Fish. It provides various features like showing the current directory, Git branch information, and customizing the prompt appearance. The "init" command is used to initialize the prompt's configuration file.
In this command, ${select} is a placeholder for the shell to configure. You replace ${select} with the relevant shell name, such as "bash", "zsh", or "fish". For example, if you want to initialize Starship for Bash, you would use the command "starship init bash".
The command generates a default configuration file specific to the selected shell. Once initialized, you can modify the generated configuration file to customize your prompt according to your preferences.
