Too slow.

I don't known why, this plugin gets slow, especially when i open neovim or quit neovim.

I experience a similar issue, Neovim freezes when I decide to save a file and I happen to have nvim-tree open

[kyazdani42]

i do not experience such issues...
could you please provide:

• your neovim version
• nvim-tree version with which the bug appears
• OS and OS version you are using
• terminal, shell and versions of them
• a minimal sample config with which the issue arise ?

[saihnii4]

The issue was resolved by disabling the git integration as specified by #389

so, I am also a user of the fish shell, and this plugin is very slow on startup, writing files, and exiting nvim. It's probably an artifact of the fish shell's integration with git.

Once I set my nvim shell to dash, the problem completely resolved itself:

vim.cmd('set shell=/bin/dash')

Thanks! when i set my shell to zsh or bash, the issue was solved.
But, the issue can't solved by @dulguuncodes 's method.
@dulguuncodes, Have you solved this issue?

[saihnii4]

both my method and mattbailey's method worked for me

[kyazdani42]

yes i've noted that the fish shell gets quite slow with nvim tree.
if somebody could share his fish config I'd be happy to do some debugging.
I also noticed that my neovim is getting slower with a lot of git changes in a big repo, I'm pretty sure I can improve the performance if I do a bit of a refactoring of the git module so it's done in a job instead of in a system call which is synchronous and blocking.

[alfredjophy]

my config.fish is just some aliases and nvim tree still causes a block when i write a file (usually for a few seconds) but it works fine when my shell is bash.

closing this in favor of #549
