@scott@sfba.social @aurynn@cloudisland.nz In this context, catppuccin usually means a custom shell prompt in the powerline style rendered in one of those colour schemes using starship.

Finally, a "powerline" shell prompt style tries to selectively render relevant details in a single long block of text, rather than scattering the details all over the screen.

@scott@sfba.social @aurynn@cloudisland.nz It's not very obvious from any of the links or screenshots, but these three things combined let the prompt area be context-sensitive: if you're inside a git repo, it'll show that (and the repo's current sync state), if you're not, it won’t. This is what makes these sorts of shenanigans, not the pretty colours (but the pretty colours are also nice).
