OSX terminal running slow in git repositories

git terminal

Solution 1:

Most likely, you have something running in your shell prompt which checks and reports the repository's current state. Many shell frameworks will do this (such as oh-my-zsh, or bash-it). They check the state of the repository every time a prompt is displayed.

If you are in a repository that is for some reason very slow to report its status, that might display this behavior. Some possible reasons include:

  • The repository is on a storage device (disk, USB stick, NAS) which is experiencing a problem, and is slow to respond.

  • The repository is on a network-mounted filesystem which is slow to respond.

  • The repository is on a low-performance filesystem mount, such as mounted into a virtual machine.

Solution 2:

Running git status and then pushing the few of the new changes seemed to fasten up the response of iterm for me.
