GIT is working painfully slow

Question

This is a link to a video in which you can see how slow it works....

It takes more than 3 minutes to perform a git status command.

I've tried updating GIT to the latest version as well as executing the garbage collector (git gc---aggressive) but nothing gets better.

Any help on how to fix it would be very appreciated.

This depends on the repository size and storage medium (e.g. HDD). It may take some time at first run. — Biswapriyo, Jun 25, 2019 at 20:02

Are you using stock git or git from Homebrew? If it's from Homebrew, use the stock git may improve the performance

brew unlink git
