Only branch name is shown, but nothing else

Hi,

I’m new to powerline, so I might have misconfigured it, but I can’t get powerline-gitstatus to show anything but the branch name.

Contents of ~/.config/powerline/config.json:

{
	"ext": {
		"shell": {
			"colorscheme": "default",
			"theme": "default_leftonly"
		}
	}
}

The ~/.config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json and ~/.config/powerline/colorschemes/default.json are copied from the powerline-gitstatus readme as-is.

The output of git status --branch --porcelain is:

## master...origin/master [ahead 2]
 M Doxyfile

However, powerline-gitstatus looks like this: http://imgur.com/a/uNjWo ― the branch name is shown, but it doesn’t say how many modified files I have or how many commits I’m ahead of origin/master.

I have git version 2.13.5.

What am I doing wrong?

Just for the record and to avoid people crawling each issues 1 by 1 : I had the same issue, but found the solution in here : https://github.com/jaspernbrouwer/powerline-gitstatus/issues/13

For the record, I came across it by running powerline-lint

@jaspernbrouwer thanks, I got it working now by

• using default and not left
• adding powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus to the ‘left’ section of the shell/default.json

I created colorschemes and shell directories under my home dir

mkdir -p ~/.config/powerline/colorschemes  ~/.config/powerline/themes/shell

Place powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus on the left section in shell/default.json and with priority 10

Here is the complete ~/.config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json

{
	"segments": {
		"left": [
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.shell.mode"
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.common.net.hostname",
				"priority": 10
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.common.env.user",
				"priority": 30
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.common.env.virtualenv",
				"priority": 50
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.shell.cwd",
				"priority": 10
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.shell.jobnum",
				"priority": 20
			},
                        {
				"function": "powerline_gitstatus.gitstatus",
				"priority": 10
			}
		],
		"right": [
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.shell.last_pipe_status",
				"priority": 10
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.common.vcs.stash",
				"priority": 50
			},
			{
				"function": "powerline.segments.common.vcs.branch",
				"priority": 40
			}
		]
	}
}
