-## Speeding up the command prompt in large repositories
+## OS Support
-This script provides a custom command prompt that includes information about the git repository for the current folder. However, with certain large repositories, this can result in a slow command prompt since the required git status command can be slow. To resolve this, you can update a git setting to remove the git portion of the command prompt.
+This Feature should work on recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, RockyLinux, and Alpine Linux.
-To disable the prompt for the current folder's repository, enter the following in a terminal or add it to your `postCreateCommand` or dotfiles:
+## Customizing the command prompt
+
+By default, this script provides a custom command prompt that includes information about the git repository for the current folder. However, with certain large repositories, this can result in a slow command prompt due to the performance of needed git operations.
+
+For performance reasons, a "dirty" indicator that tells you whether or not there are uncommitted changes is disabled by default. You can opt to turn this on for smaller repositories by entering the following in a terminal or adding it to your `postCreateCommand`:
```bash
-git config codespaces-theme.hide-status 1
+git config devcontainers-theme.show-dirty 1
```
-This setting will survive a rebuild since it is applied to the repository rather than the container.
+To completely disable the git portion of the prompt for the current folder's repository, you can use this configuration setting instead:
+```bash
+git config devcontainers-theme.hide-status 1
+```
+For `zsh`, the default theme is a [standard Oh My Zsh! theme](https://ohmyz.sh/). You may pick a different one by modifying the `ZSH_THEME` variable in `~/.zshrc`.
