The gem in this post is Pure, which I haven't heard of until now. I also have my prompt show the git status, and for large repos `git status` can take 10+ seconds to load and cache.

I had no idea that you could do that asynchronously, and then have ZSH update the already printed prompt with the status later! That blows my mind!
