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

It could be the theme calling git and rvm stuff after every command.

For me, changing ZSH_THEME="juanghurtadoto" to ZSH_THEME="miloshadzic" removed the 2 second delay after every command completely.

Themes can be found at https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/themes

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.

Oh_my_zsh seems to be slow for some repos because it checks the status of the repo after each command. This behaviour can be overridden in the new version of .oh_my_zsh . Just Uncomment the following line in .zshrc:

DISABLE_UNTRACKED_FILES_DIRTY="true"

After this, restart your terminal or run the following:

source ~/.zshrc
