Git status icon like (staged, unstaged, renamed, . . . ) does not appear in nvim-tree?

[reynaldlamury]

I have nvim-tree/nvim-tree and nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons plugins installed on my nvim lua based config. Git status icon does not appear. The status icon is usually located at the left handside of the file/folder.

Here is the snapshot that can show how It should look like if the icon appears:

I dont't know why it does not work. I have set the option renderer = {icons = {glyphs = {git = {unstaged= "U", ...}}}} . Is there something wrong with this ?

Here is the packer manager file that contains all plugins. In case it might has something to do with the way I order the plugin most particularly the "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" plugin.

packer.lua

vim.cmd([[packadd packer.nvim]])

return require("packer").startup(function(use)
    --[[ rest of the plugins ]]

    use({ --- lualine
        "nvim-lualine/lualine.nvim",
        requires = { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" },
    })

    use({ -- LSPSaga
        "glepnir/lspsaga.nvim",
        opt = true,
        branch = "main",
        event = "LspAttach",
        config = function()
            require("lspsaga").setup({})
        end,
        requires = {
            { "nvim-tree/nvim-web-devicons" },
            --Please make sure you install markdown and markdown_inline parser
            { "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter" },
        },
    })

    --[[ rest of the plugins ]]
end)

Or There might be a conflict between nvim-tree plugin and other plugins. But I'm not sure where the problem is. Any Idea ?

You haven't shown relevant nvim-tree setup configuration, or what it looks like when it doesn't work.

This works for me

  renderer = {
    icons = {
      git_placement = 'signcolumn',
      glyphs = {
        git = {
          unstaged = 'M',
          staged = 'S',
          unmerged = 'U',
          renamed = 'R',
          untracked = '?',
          deleted = 'D',
          ignored = 'I',
        },
      },
    },
  },

Can't replicate it, sorry. Please open new issue with reproducible minimal configuration and steps in nvim-tree repository as it seem unrelated to nvim-web-devicons (you are setting git glyphs to ascii characters).

Also make sure you have proper font installed and configured correctly.

I've used NerdFont. I set some of the git status icon a text-based symbol such as for unstaged = "U", for renamed = "R" . But They still don't appear. It's weird, All the icons are showing up except the git symbol icon @gegoune

[reynaldlamury]

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean by 'create reproducible minimal configuration and steps in nvim-tree repository' ? Can you walk me through the steps ? @gegoune

Please see Clean Room Replication

nvim-tree will use nvim-web-devicons
