-### Features
+## Why this installer exists
 
-- Displays the current **Git branch** and live repository status  
-- Works across **five switchable themes** (changeable in real time)  
-- Shows **staged, changed, untracked, stashed, and remote** indicators  
-- Detects **clean vs. dirty** repository state instantly  
-- Compatible with Ubuntu, Fedora, and most POSIX-compatible shells  
-- Includes a **Nerd Font installer** for correct symbol rendering
+Most Bash Git prompts out there are bloated. You have to install oh-my-zsh, oh-my-bash, or some other framework that drags in far more than you need.  
+This project is the opposite: a fast, lightweight Git status prompt based purely on Bash and Git’s own built-in commands.  
+No frameworks, no plugins, no bloat.

+## Important note about fonts (SSH users take notice)
+
+The Git prompt uses Nerd Font symbols, but:
+
+**You only need Nerd Fonts installed on your local machine.**
+Your terminal emulator on your laptop/workstation renders the symbols — not the server.
+
+If you SSH into the server, the prompt will display correctly **as long as your local terminal already has the Nerd Font installed**.
+
+If you are installing this on a remote server, you can safely skip the font installer.
