A Powerline segment for showing the status of a Git working copy.
It will show the branch-name, or the commit hash if in detached head state.
It will also show the number of commits behind, commits ahead, staged files, unmerged files (conflicts), changed files, untracked files and stashed files if that number is greater than zero.

The Gitstatus segment requires git! Preferably, but not limited to, version 1.8.5 or higher.
Version 1.8.5 will enable the usage of the -C
parameter, which is more performant and accurate.
Installing the Gitstatus segment can be done with pip:
pip install powerline-gitstatus
The Gitstatus segment uses a couple of custom highlight groups. You'll need to define those groups in your colorscheme,
for example in .config/powerline/colorschemes/default.json
:
{
"groups": {
"gitstatus": { "fg": "gray8", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_branch": { "fg": "gray8", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_branch_clean": { "fg": "green", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_branch_dirty": { "fg": "gray8", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_branch_detached": { "fg": "mediumpurple", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_tag": { "fg": "darkcyan", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_inprogress": { "fg": "red", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_behind": { "fg": "gray10", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_ahead": { "fg": "gray10", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_staged": { "fg": "green", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_unmerged": { "fg": "brightred", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_changed": { "fg": "mediumorange", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_untracked": { "fg": "brightestorange", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus_stashed": { "fg": "darkblue", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] },
"gitstatus:divider": { "fg": "gray8", "bg": "gray2", "attrs": [] }
}
}
Then you can activate the Gitstatus segment by adding it to your segment configuration,
for example in .config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json
:
{
"function": "powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus",
"priority": 40
}
The Gitstatus segment will use the -C
argument by default, but this requires git 1.8.5 or higher.
If you cannot meet that requirement, you'll have to disable the usage of -C
.
Do this by passing false
to the use_dash_c
argument, for example in .config/powerline/themes/shell/__main__.json
:
"gitstatus": {
"args": {
"use_dash_c": false
}
}
Optionally the most recent tag reachable in the current branch can be shown.
You can enable this by passing true
to the show_tag
argument, for example in .config/powerline/themes/shell/__main__.json
:
"gitstatus": {
"args": {
"show_tag": true
}
}
You can also specify any describe style that git-prompt.sh
supports (via its GIT_PS1_DESCRIBE_STYLE
) by passing "contains"
, "branch"
, "tag"
, "describe"
or "exact"
(which is git-prompt.sh
's "default"
).
Git is executed an additional time to find this tag, so it is disabled by default.
Optionally in-progress information can be show (BISECTING, MERGING etc.).
You can enable this by passing true
to the show_inprogress
argument (see above).
