+## Speeding up the command prompt in large repositories
+
+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.
+
+To disable the prompt for the current folder's repository, enter the following in a terminal or add it to your `postCreateCommand` or dotfiles:
+
+```bash
+git config codespaces-theme.hide-status 1
+```
+
+This setting will survive a rebuild since it is applied to the repository rather than the container.
