dotfiles VS gitstatus

For quick edits do use vim or nvim with no plugins and mostly stock config

Under GDM you can use systemd environment.d(5) to configure those variables. I have some examples in my dotfiles[2]. Your Sway configuration also has to inject it's own environment variables to systemd session like is documented here[3]. Arch Linux does that in `/etc/sway/config.d/50-systemd-user.conf`[4]

You could try to aproach it from a different angle. I have a seperate shell script that listens for volume changes and shows a popup with a new value https://github.com/artizirk/dotfiles/blob/master/.bin/volume_subscribe.sh

some other customizations, like automatic python venv activation, are available in my dotfiles https://github.com/artizirk/dotfiles/blob/510b7c3d6d9b7f90bec8f3aef15e872750a4f135/.zshrc

I just think there's a lot good ideas floating around the git community, for example Stacked Git and gitstatus, but somehow none of this connects with Git developers.

Powerlevel10k uses gitstatus as the backend behind vcs prompt; gitstatus spawns gitstatusd and zsh. See gitstatus for details. Powerlevel10k may also spawn zsh to perform computation without blocking prompt. To avoid security hazard, these background processes aren't shared by different interactive shells. They terminate automatically when the parent zsh process terminates or runs exec(3).

You probably wish to install gitstatus. There was some package that uses it for the modeline info, but I don't remember the name. Search this reddit or the web to find it.

This is a fast and asynchronous Git status information that may be used as an UI element, say, in eshell prompt or in mode line. Note, it depends on an external executable gitstatusd by u/romkatv.

romkatv/powerlevel10k, is using the function to execute a specific task: shutdown of the binary, background gitstatus demon, with a very good results,

perf of POSIX/Linux nftw, Rust walkdir and find are comparable, which is what burntsushi also writes as finding. One option for Rust would be what zig libstd does: offer higher perf for less convenience/checks with optimizations (no sorting) https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus/blob/master/docs/listdir.md

If you prefer going lightweight and avoid installing the OhMyZsh, p10k and the like, you may use https://github.com/romkatv/gitstatus, which provides the basic elements.
