nvim gets stuck if git option is set in the config about nvim-tree.lua HOT 6 CLOSED

the repo is not that big. and it was working just fine a month or two back. Also, I switched to neo-tree. neo-tree works just fine.

Diagnostic information would be most gratefully appreciated; we can't resolve issues without sufficient information.

I've had the very same issue. The problem was that my project directory had a giant node_modules directory. I fixed it by adding node_modules to the watchers' ignored dirs:

require("nvim-tree").setup({
  filesystem_watchers = {
    enable = true,
    debounce_delay = 50,
    ignore_dirs = {"node_modules"},
  },
})

Massive repositories are indeed an issue, with git often taking seconds to do any task.

Please:

• enable performance logging and report your results
• try macOS only Git fsmonitor Daemon
