This Zsh script / plugin will put local Git repo status in your right side prompt (RPROMPT).

The main difference between this plugin and standard vcs_info based prompts / themes is asynchronous computation. This makes the plugin feel faster, although it really isn't, it just returns immediately and updates the status in the background. If your current prompt works fast enough, there's no need to switch to this plugin.

The plugin is inspired by:

1. Oh My Zsh git-prompt plugin, which in turn is based on an old version of Olivier Verdier's plugin,
2. Anish Athalye's asynchronous prompt idea.

configuration

You can set any the following variables before loading the plugin:

• $GIT_PROMPT_ORDER - determines the order of elements (modified / staged / untracked etc.),
• $GIT_PROMPT_SYMBOLS - what to display before each element,
• $GIT_PROMPT_INDENT_HACK - try 0 or 1 if the prompt seems misaligned.

Customized to look similar to powerline prompts (see async-git-prompt.config-example.zsh), clean:
