Powerline on Windows opens several cmd windows on git managed files about powerline HOT 5 CLOSED

You can install libgit2 + pygit2, this will get rid of the window without doing anything to source code. It is not a fix, but I currently have no idea how to fix this on windows.

I’ve now installed libgit2 + pygit2 and it worked. Thank you

Would it be possible to show how to disable the VCS segment in windows, as mentioned in the troubleshooting?

Thanks!

Documentation is false on the issue: you can’t disable segment, you can only remove it. To do so copy powerline/themes/vim/default.json file into ~/.config/powerline/themes/vim/default.json and remove dictionaries containing branch and file_vcs_status as values of their name keys. Path ~/.config/powerline/themes/vim/default.json should be perfectly understandable by vim without modifications, ~ is something like C:\users\username (at least, os.path.expanduser('~/.config') returns C:\users\zyx/.config on python2 installed under wine).

Hello,

I am also running this on windows and get a similar error. Whenever I open a git managed file I get these windows opening and closing in a continuous loop. How can I fix this?

EDIT: I've seen the edit to the doc and read over the comments above. I will remove the VCS portion
