Display git status in signcolumn

[mrossinek]

As I understand things right now, you leverage the signcolumn to display the lsp diagnostic status for files with potential issues.
While I like the idea of that, I'd rather use the signcolumn to display the git status information (thereby also preventing things like #72). Is that something you have thought about or would be willing to implement?

An additional cherry on top would be to have a configuraiton option whether git status signs are placed:

• to the right of file/folder names
• to the left of file/folder names
• in the sign column

Maybe you could leverage the same implementation to make the lsp diagnostic symbol location configurable in the same way? 🤔

Good idea I guess, but it would add quite a lot of code and I'm currently doing a big rewrite of the codebase so we will do that after :)

I second that it would be rad if we could pick where the git status icons go... Personally I would like them to the right of the directory

it has been asked many times, the renderer needs a bit of a rewrite because it's quite messy as it is.

I like the sign column idea.

[kyazdani42]

yes, that's why the renderer needs a big rewrite 😄
