oh-my-zsh slow, but only for certain Git repo

You can add this to your git config and zsh won’t check the status anymore

git config --add oh-my-zsh.hide-status 1
git config --add oh-my-zsh.hide-dirty 1

Explanation

There are two central git functions in in lib/git.zsh:

• git_prompt_info()
• parse_git_dirty()

Each Method has a git config switch to disable it:

• oh-my-zsh.hide-status
• oh-my-zsh.hide-dirty

Some themes create their own git queries and sometimes ignore these flags.
