There are numerous customization options, which can be controlled with git options or fish variables. git options, where available, take precedence over the fish variable with the same function. git options can be set on a per-repository or global basis. git options can be set with the `git config` command, while fish variables can be set as usual with the :ref:`set <cmd-set>` command.
-``$__fish_git_prompt_show_informative_status`` or the git option ``bash.showInformativeStatus`` can be set to enable the "informative" display, which will show a large amount of information - the number of untracked files, dirty files, unpushed/unpulled commits, and more. In large repositories, this can take a lot of time, so it you may wish to disable it in these repositories with ``git config --local bash.showInformativeStatus false``.
-``$__fish_git_prompt_showdirtystate`` or the git option ``bash.showDirtyState`` can be set to show if the repository is "dirty", i.e. has uncommitted changes.
-``$__fish_git_prompt_showuntrackedfiles`` or the git option ``bash.showUntrackedFiles`` can be set to show if the repository has untracked files (that aren't ignored).
A number of variables set characters and color used as indicators. Many of these have a different default if used with informative status enabled, or ``$__fish_git_prompt_use_informative_chars`` set. The usual default is given first, then the informative default (if it is different). If no default for the colors is given, they default to ``$__fish_git_prompt_color``.
Note that all colors can also have a corresponding ``_done`` color. For example, the contents of ``$__fish_git_prompt_color_upstream_done`` is printed right _after_ the upstream.
See also :ref:`fish_vcs_prompt <cmd-fish_vcs_prompt>`, which will call all supported version control prompt functions, including git, Mercurial and Subversion.
