I tried everything in this question Git/Bash is extremely slow in Windows 7 x64

but no luck. When I uninstall and reinstall it works well for about 1 hours, then it is slow again. If I run git with GIT_TRACE=1 I get the following:

09:25:24.211494 git.c:371               trace: built-in: git 'status' '--porcelain'

followed by the usual output. This doesn't seem normal to me as usually it is only one trace line for a status check. I am using it in cmder and since it runs a git command after anything else to update the branch details it takes ages. Any ideas on what might cause this? If not any way to disable git details on cmder window?

  • Don't use cmder/clink? It looks like a question for clink prompt function why it spawns dozens of "status" commands per prompt. – Maximus Mar 27 '17 at 09:25
  • @Maximus no that many commands will be spawned on any shell, I tried. I asked if I can disable git on each prompt in cmder if this problem cannot be solved properly (which is stopping git from launching this many status commands). – Arijoon Mar 28 '17 at 08:05
  • The "shell" - is cmd, bash or what are you using. ConEmu is a terminal. cmder is a bundle of ConEmu and third-part software like clink. So, disable clink, or use bare ConEmu to have "clean" prompt. – Maximus Mar 28 '17 at 08:57
  • thanks I disabled clink. Not the best solution but git is really slow and can't have it run after every prompt – Arijoon Mar 29 '17 at 08:47

My git was also extremely slow. When I type git in command prompt, it took more than 60 seconds for completing. After I uninstalled IBM Security Trusteer Rapport the problem's gone.
