Really slow

[simkessy]

Hey,

I just implemented this in a vagrant box and it works perfectly but it's really slow. I even removed the git_dirty from PS1 but that didn't improve things much.

This is what my prompt looks like:

export PS1="\${debian_chroot:+(\$debian_chroot)}\[$txtgrn\]@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\] \[$txtylw\]\$git_branch\[$txtrst\]\$ "

Is git status also slow? I had this same issue when running the script as .bashrc.
What does:
time git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD
and
time git status --porcelain
look like @simkessy?

In my case, I had to do a git --prune on my repo (forgot to exclude some log files).

If you are suffering from a slow prompt, you might like to try my fork. If the git status process takes too long, then it aborts to give you a prompt, but continues processing in the background, so you can get the stats later. It's probably not for everyone, but maybe it can help you.

Interesting, Ill have to give your fork a try. I like the fact that it starts the git status --porcelain in the background. 👍 but not sure if its actually faster.

This issue seems like a duplicate of #9
