## What it is
A zsh plugin that displays informative git status in the shell prompt, including branch name, ahead/behind commit counts, and staged/changed/untracked file counts. It offers a Haskell implementation that is significantly faster than the original Python one.

## Use cases
- show git branch and status in my zsh prompt
- display how many commits I'm ahead or behind the remote
- see staged and unstaged file counts at a glance in the terminal
- fast git prompt for large repositories
- show merge conflicts and untracked files in the prompt

## When to choose
- you use zsh and want a detailed, at-a-glance git status in your prompt
- you want a fast prompt implementation for large git repositories
- you prefer a lightweight prompt plugin over a full framework like powerlevel10k

## When to avoid
- you use bash or another shell instead of zsh
- you already use a prompt framework (e.g., oh-my-zsh themes, starship, powerlevel10k) with git integration
- you need a minimal prompt without git information
