oh-my-zsh git prompt very slow on some Windows hosts about babun HOT 11 CLOSED

Same problem here. Babun takes a long time to show prompt and git status takes forever

from babun.

@MatanRubin thanks - I had missed that. Indeed, with the "babun" theme, the speed is back to normal. I am still unsure what the other themes got wrong, and/or if it is possible to apply the speed fix to all of them in a transparent way.

In any case, thanks @tombujok for the fix!

@tombujok Here is another thread about possible enhancements to speed up the git prompt on cygwin. Seems we have to avoid forks at all costs.

ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh#5486

from babun.

Added babun zsh theme which optimizes the speed of the git prompt

from babun.

@tombujok, I still suffer from very slow git prompt (Win8.1), whenever I am inside a git repository, it takes 5 or 6 seconds to display the line (on a newly created repo, with just a few commits). Can you share which theme was the one you added to share this issue? Thanks in advance,

Same problem here, Windows 10, just trying babun within git working directory.

For future readers:
I had this problem as well. To use the theme @tombujok added make sure your theme is set to "babun" in your ~/.zshrc:

ZSH_THEME="babun"

I believe this is now the default when you install babun, but if you happened to change your theme and later on not realise why things slowed down - this is probably the reason.

I have a similar problem (my theme is set to babun).

git status takes around 0.5 seconds when run in bash (from Git for Windows) and around 2 seconds when run in Babun. The funny thing is: if I run git status in bash and then run the same command in babun it takes 5 seconds the first time and the subsequent runs take the same 2 seconds.

Same here.. have babun theme as well.

How did you optimize babun's theme for git prompt? How would I do the same for another zsh theme?

from babun.

I gained 2 seconds commenting out the vcs_info line in the prompt_git function in the agonster-theme file; now it takes only half a second to return to the prompt.
