A duplicate of #612

@mafredri is there any option to completely disable async workers along with a complex git functional?

[mafredri]

@Arrow-x the reason it works even if you kill it is that a new one is started up. It's part of what allows Pure to do background processing (like git fetch and status).

@ivan-volnov No, there is no way to disable it. It's the main feature of Pure so it doesn't really make sense to make it an option.

Just look at how simple pure.zsh was before all the async functionality: https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure/blob/b76a0efe742775b7efeb4f262ca86d6d05163797/pure.zsh

Thanks for the hint!)

Forked it to remove async functionality.
