This Feature should work on recent versions of Debian/Ubuntu, RedHat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, RockyLinux, and Alpine Linux.
This Feature is used in many of the dev container images, as a result these images have already allocated UID & GID 1000. Attempting to add this Feature with UID 1000 and/or GID 1000 on top of such a dev container image will result in an error when building the dev container.
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:
git config devcontainers-theme.show-dirty 1To completely disable the git portion of the prompt for the current folder's repository, you can use this configuration setting instead:
git config devcontainers-theme.hide-status 1For zsh, the default theme is a standard Oh My Zsh! theme. You may pick a different one by modifying the ZSH_THEME variable in ~/.zshrc.
