Async async

The async section is used as a placeholder for sections that are not yet rendered. This section is displayed only when there are still sections to be rendered.

By default, Spaceship works asynchronously. It displays the prompt immediately while checking the environment, then it updates the prompt with new information.

Optionally, you can enable displaying the number of sections that are being processed via the SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SHOW_COUNT environment variable:

.zshrc

SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SHOW_COUNT=true

Options

Variable	Default	Meaning
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SHOW	true	Show section
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SHOW_COUNT	false	Show job count
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_PREFIX	-	Section's prefix
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SUFFIX	-	Section's suffix
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_SYMBOL	…	Symbol displayed before the section
SPACESHIP_ASYNC_COLOR	gray	Section's color
