starship: Freezes and uses 100% of cpu in huge? git directories.

Current Behavior

Freeze in some directories.

/usr/bin/ls -lRa | wc -l     
65256

It’s git directory with rust project with a bunch of small files. Any command evaluates nearly 10 seconds and consumes 100% of CPU. In any other directory it works perfectly,

Expected Behavior

Not to freeze/

I’m seeing the same thing, cloning the WebKit official git repository git clone git://git.webkit.org/WebKit-https.git WebKit when entering the folder with starship is very slow.

After a build it’s even A LOT slower but even git status then complains that It took 3.81 seconds to enumerate untracked files

I’d suggest that the git plugin should have an upper bound on it’s execution time, having a working prompt without git branch name is better than a too slow to be usable prompt.

../../libgit2/build/examples/lg2 status 0,00s user 0,00s system 90% cpu 0,008 total

OK, so git status is fast, lg2 status is fast, but starship prompt is slow and the CPU profile shows all time spent in libgit2. This must be fixable.

The main improvement on the git side of things is thanks to dropping libgit2 in favor of calling git directly.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info.

By the way, before ditching libgit2 in gitstatus I’ve also tried linking with git and calling its functions. This is really difficult and doesn’t pay off compared to forking into regular git and parsing the output. So it’s a good call for starship to invoke git.
