I use long descriptive branch names in git, causing the prompt to take up too much space leaving less room for long paths.

I would like to limit the git plugin's branch segment to something like 15 characters which will be enough for me to keep track of which branch I'm on without showing the full branch name. Is this possible? I'm using oh-my-zsh.

There is a set of options in powerlevel9k:

POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_SHORTEN_LENGTH=4
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_SHORTEN_MIN_LENGTH=11
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_SHORTEN_STRATEGY="truncate_from_right"
POWERLEVEL9K_VCS_SHORTEN_DELIMITER=".."
