About:
ZshGitPrompt is a tool that displays dynamic Git repository information directly in your zsh command prompt. It shows the current branch, commit count, and working directory status in real-time. This provides immediate visual feedback on the state of your codebase without needing to run separate git commands.

Key Features:

Real-time status indicators for branch, ahead/behind counts, and staged/unstaged changes
Highly customizable prompt display using standard zsh prompt expansion
Lightweight implementation with minimal performance impact
Supports complex repository states like rebasing and merging

Use Cases:

Developers who need constant visibility into their Git workflow status
Improving productivity by reducing context switches to check repository state
Enhancing terminal aesthetics with informative and dynamic prompts

Alternatives:

starship – A cross-shell prompt that supports zsh and other shells, offering more extensive customization but with a larger footprint
pure – A zsh-only prompt focused on simplicity and speed, offering a different aesthetic and feature set
