How to stop execution of command from prompt in shell?

My prompt contains some info about git repo under current directory. When I do cd somewhere, my shell executes some commands (i.e. git status). Is there a way to stop execution of such commands via the same terminal? Sending signals from keyboard (e.g. via Ctrl+c) doesn't work. ### Update #1 I don't want to disable those commands permanently - I just want them to start running and then stop them in runtime.
