Issue with git commands on warp terminal

[vorporeal]

Hi @thanoskrg - thanks for letting us know! Are you using Warp's default prompt or a custom/PS1-driven prompt?

[vorporeal]

Also, is this a large git repository? We run a git command (configured to avoid taking any unnecessary locks) to display the current branch in the prompt; I'm wondering if it's taking a long time to run for some reason, and so ends up interfering with you running git commands.

As far as I know I'm using the default settings, apart from some zsh customizations. But these customizations apply also to the Terminal app which I tested and it works.

is this a large git repository?

Yes, it's a huge monorepo. Not sure if it helps but for what's worth here is the output of:

$ git count-objects -vH
count: 180
size: 1.54 MiB
in-pack: 237689
packs: 4
size-pack: 166.01 MiB
prune-packable: 12
garbage: 0
size-garbage: 0 bytes

@vorporeal your assumption for the git command that takes long time to complete might be the case. Because sometimes it works, but most of them it doesn't.

Might be worth trying to enable the core.fsmonitor option for git - it vastly improves git performance on large repositories.

See this writeup about it on the GitHub blog: https://github.blog/2022-06-29-improve-git-monorepo-performance-with-a-file-system-monitor/

You may also want to try the feature.manyFiles config flag: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-config#Documentation/git-config.txt-featuremanyFiles

I've been experiencing this issue too! I originally assumed it was a bug with https://github.com/ejoffe/spr but this doesn't happen on iTerm

[thanoskrg]

@vorporeal unfortunately neither of the above fixed the issue. I'd like to highlight here that other terminals work fine with the same commands that Warp fails to complete.

@zheng Are you using Warp prompt or your custom PS1? If the former, does this still repro if you change from Warp prompt to "Honor PS1"?
