feature request: is it possible to have giticons with nerd fonts? Something similar to nvim tree's implementation maybe?

In theory yeah, however that's not really a feature request for this plugin but more so for the gitstatus patch.

Since I am the author of that patch as well I'll take a look though. Does nvim-tree have a way to represent staged vs unstaged?

Yes, their README shows these :

let g:nvim_tree_icons = {
    \   'unstaged': "✗",
    \   'staged': "✓",
 ...
}

I have a version of the patch that can print icons but I'm not sure how to implement it.

I would like to maintain all the information represented by the dual columns of git status --porcelain but I can't really find single width icons that will look good next to each other.
Any suggestions are welcome @samrath2007 @n3wborn

New version of the gitstatus patch shows nerd icons when built with O_NERD=1: jarun/nnn#1220
