starship: starship fails to install on Cygwin

On Cygwin I run the install command

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)"

Then I get the error:

$ sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://starship.rs/install.sh)"

I confirm that adding

source <(starship init bash --print-full-init | dos2unix)

instead of

eval "$(starship init bash)"

in the file ~/.bashrc works on my cygwin. Thanks!!

It looks like #2449 isn’t quite fixed yet.

A workaround shared in that issue for zsh is this:

source <(starship init zsh --print-full-init | dos2unix)

For bash you should be able to use this:

source <(starship init bash --print-full-init | dos2unix)

(In case someone else has the same problem) I solved this by using chocolatey. choco install starship
