git status not working

[bohnna]

After installing and adding {git_status} to my psmux.conf status bar, it doesn't replace {git_status} with any of my current git information.

• Added set -g @plugin 'psmux-plugins/psmux-git-status' to my .psmux.conf
• Installed the plugin with Prefix + I
• Added {git_status} via set -g status-right
• All I see is {git_status} in the lower right.

Hey @bohnna, thanks for reporting this! I tracked it down and the fix is live now.

What was happening: The plugin documentation and script were using {git_status} as the placeholder format, but psmux only recognizes the #{...} format (with the # prefix) for variable expansion in the status bar. So {git_status} was being displayed as literal text instead of being replaced with your git info.

The fix (commit 627f57d):

1. The plugin now stores git data into the @git_status user option (accessible via #{git_status})
2. Removed the old broken string replacement approach that was lossy and one shot
3. Added proper polling hooks in plugin.conf so git status refreshes automatically
4. Updated all docs to use the correct #{git_status} format

What you need to do: Update your status bar config to use #{} instead of {}:

set -g status-right '#{git_status} | %H:%M'

Then either restart psmux or reload your config. You should see your branch name, status indicators, and stash count appear in the status bar.

Also make sure to pull the latest plugin version (Prefix + U if using ppm, or git pull in your plugins directory).

Let me know if you run into anything else!
