Git checks for branch, dirtiness, and unpushed/unpulled commits are done asynchronously, ensuring the prompt remains fast and responsive without blocking the terminal, as highlighted in the overview.

The prompt symbol turns red on command failure and displays execution time for slow commands, providing immediate visual cues without cluttering the interface.

Every prompt element can be customized via Zstyle with support for decimal, named, and RGB colors, offering fine-grained control over aesthetics, as detailed in the Colors section.
