I use a personal oh-my-zsh theme which includes git status. Recently the git status part of my prompt stopped working – no error messages, it just vanished. I’m not sure what I broke.
I found the code for the git_prompt_info and git_prompt_status functions used to display this here in the ohmyzsh repo, and determined that something about the async versions of these is broken. I have not successfully tracked down why; _OMZ_ASYNC_OUTPUT is empty, and there might be a clue here in async_prompt.zsh. But for now, I’ve worked around this by pushing the following line into my ~/.zshrc file.
# Switch to synchronous git status
zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt false;It will probably slow down my prompt a bit, but it seems snappy enough and got things working again for now.
just had this same thing happen, with the builtin theme, minimal. thanks for posting—helped a lot!
also might be helpful to those on this page — this was caused by a regression in oh-my-zsh. details here: https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/12328
