Global setting for git segment's display_status

[cesarcoatl]

Here I propose a way to get Git status back to life with a global setting, perhaps something could be set in our $PROFILE.

Unless there is already a way to accomplish this and I am not aware of it.

Thanks and great job!

@thecesrom can I first ask why you're not creating a custom theme with "display_status": true? It's not "dead", the default sample themes simply don't have it enabled

I have not ventured in creating my own custom theme, but I have overridden the git block on the themes I use.

I was just wondering if there could be a way to enable the status without having to edit the theme file with each update.

Thanks again.

@thecesrom are you editing the theme directly in the powershell module folder? Because that's not a good idea as it will indeed be overridden every time the module updates. You can copy that theme to your user home folder for example and keep it (we stay compatible as much as we can). Suppose you copy that theme json to ~/thecesrom.omp.json you can make the module it with Set-Poshprompt -Theme ~/thecesrom.omp.json.
