gitstatus VS p4-fusion

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.
